Belinda lived in a little white house, With a little black kitten and a little gray mouse, And a little yellow dog and a little red wagon, And a realio, trulio, little pet dragon.

Free Verse

Oh Olive,You are as precious to me as any gem,With your beautiful, pure skin as smooth as silkAnd as green as the grass in summertime.I love your taste and the smell of your tender fruitWhich hides beneath your green armour.Olive, sweet, tasty Olive,How I love you so and my mealtimes wouldn't be the sameIf you weren't in my life.Oh Olive,Nothing can compare to you, nothing at all,You are food of the gods, a king's richesAnd, most importantly, you are mine, oh Olive!

It was in June you passed me byIt was in June you caught my eyeSoon we were meeting both day and nightThe days suddenly seemed filled with lightIt was all so sudden, a short tryst I thoughtBut your heart and soul it seemed I had caught

No, there are no regrets since you walked my wayNo, there are no regrets since we met that day
