well she brought out the best and the worst in me
helped me to a place i shouldn't ought'a have been
gave me a rhyme with her space and her time
in another day i would'a made her all mine
yes i wrote her a song about two fishes in the sea
could have given her name but i called her blue V
now everyone knows, how i was falling apart
the things i could do if i only had the heart of
Veronica, Veronica --- aaaa
doesn't eat all day i fear she's wasting away
says she types more words than ever she'd say
hal - ooo - me is her salad you see
or its pasta and philly but she never drinks tea
hands upon her eyes now, hiding from me
dontcha put me on the spot you know how quiet i'll be
but I've sat and I heard in small hours of night
held in her spell all my senses alight
yes i wrote her a song about two fishes in the sea
could have given her name but i called her blue V
now everyone knows, how i was falling apart
the things i could do if i only had the heart of
Veronica, Veronica --- aaaa
middle 8
and before my eyes she cries into the night
for all the lies she heard
in spite of all the light i'd bring
i'd write this song and sing.....
for veronica yes veronica --- aaaa
She types into a box where only i can see
there's something runs away with veronica and me
i wanna see her face but then her data runs out
part of me is on the rooftop and i'm shouting it out
Veronica..... Veronica ---- aaaa
maybe some day i'm gonna buy me this car
i'd travel in my van but then her seat is too hard
i gotta get to see her i'm in a bit of state
before some fella gets her dont wanna be too late
yes i wrote her a song about two fishes in the sea
could have given her name but i called her blue V
now everyone knows, how i was falling apart
the things i could do if i only had the heart of
Veronica, Veronica --- aaaa

Brilliantly written. Very intriguing.
Brilliance eludes me KB but i'll have a go! Intrigued?, was written whilst having a skype convo with her. Thank you kind sir.
Always welcome, my friend.
aaw i really liked this so lovely
Thanks dove, i wasn't going to publish it but tbh was quite pleased with it when i re-read it for first time in ages this week so here we are!
I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
My goodness this was fun.......... what a great name to have: Veronica - one of a kind............like the poem........
Veronica is most definitely a one of a kind special lady. It great fun to write this too. Pleased you enjoyed and thanks for commenting.
Dust arisssssing you've risen to a star. Loved it.
LOL, I've never been called dust before, though an insignificant speck i do admit to being. Stardom is for others though. I'm pleased you liked, thank you.
Lololol! I meant dusk. Sorry.
Your words swished side to side
A rhythm still stuck in my mind
A magnificent fella does this rhyme
Like Popeye the Sailor Man
This was brilliant buddy
He he he Popeye "i brungds yer a present Olive, YAA gug gug gug gug gug"..
Glad you enjoyed this Dan
Great number and a tribute to your writing ability. Am sure Veronica will treasure these words.
Thank you Fay. I really appreciate any comment from you on my pieces. I'm hoping Veronica will come and have a look for herself now and maybe contribute writings of her own on MPS.
Super write da, I am sure that she appreciated your words - did you sing them to her?
Yes i did actually, but only as i wrote the individual verses. It was written very light heartedly whilst she and i were in video call on skype. It was done for a bit of fun. Only recently did i dig it out and reflect upon what it meant at the time and how it was written. Yes i thought, this deserves putting into MPS.. .
absolutely delightful.. nowt else need be said.......... N )
