converted

I didn't much want to be hemmed in
or hawed at
I didn't much want to be quartered
and drawn out
Not oppressed by daily mundanities
while I put my heart in the deep freeze
Until I met you then it seemed
I could happily pick up your shirts
at the dry clean
or spend hours making spinach quiche
and flan for the pleasure of hearing you say
'why thank you ma'am' and 'what's for dinner today.'
