All acts of libertine
If you be my valentine.
Though I like to live
In a family combine
So far I have followed
Parents and elders’ guidelines
Parents have been so far
For me an enshrine
But I would leave them
In the state of pains and repine
Not only that, every night
I would offer you compline
And I would serve you
Like a bovine
If you be my valentine.
Though I don’t afford
To travel by airline
My income doesn’t allow
In five star hotel to dine
I have no good house
But only ravine
But I would manage you
Everything, even though
I have to purloin
The assets of others
Or brother uterine
If you be my valentine.
You have become my lifeline
For you I am ready
To do any adulterine
I would swim
Against any streamline
