You Must Meet My Wife

She lightens my sadness
She livens my days
She bursts with a kind of madness
My well ordered ways
My happiest mistake
The ache of my life
Must meet my wife
She bubbles with pleasure
She glows with surprise
Disrupts my accustomed leisure
And ruffles my ties
I don't know even now
Quite how it began
You must meet my wife my anne
One thousand whims
To which i give in
Since her smallest tear
Turns me ashen
I never dreamed
That i could live in
So completely demented
Contented a fashion
So sunlike so winning
So unlike a wife
I do think that i'm beginning
To show signs of life
Don't ask me how at
My age one still can grow
If you met my wife you'd know
Dear fredrik
I'm just longing to meet her
Sometime
She sparkles
How pleasant
She twinkles
How nice
Her youth is a sort of present
Whatever the price
The incandescent what the
Light
Of my life
You must meet my wife
Yes i must i really must
Now
She flutters
How charming
She twitters
My word
She floats
Isn't that alarming
What is she a bir
She makes me feel i'm what
A very old man yes no no
But i must meet your gertrude
My anne sorry anne
She loves my voice my walk my mustache
The cigar in fact that i'm smoking
She'll watch me puff until it's just ash
Then she'll save the cigar butt
Bizarre but you're joking
She dotes on your dimple
My snoring how dear
The point is she's really simple
Yes that much seems clear
She gives me funny names like
Old dry as dust wouldn't she just
You must meet my wife
Yes i must yes i must
A sea of whims that i submerge in
Yet so lovable in repentance
Unfortunately still a virgin
But you can't force a flower
Don't finish that sentence
She's monstrous she's frightened
Unfeeling unversed
She'd strike you as unenlightened
No i'd strike her first
Her reticence her apprehension
Her crust no yes no fredrik
You must meet my wife
Let me get my hat and my knife
What was that
I must meet your wife
Yes you must
