My time to rhyme is a deviation from the regular focus of this blog, because, sticklers though Product Managers are to constantly ship art, taking time out for unrelated creative pursuits will freshen the mind for brighter ideas back in their home territory.
When I was a little kid gazing up at the stars
I never realised the changes my life would parse
In taking me from that kid to a hopeless romantic.
I’ve fallen for a pretty girl that makes me frantic
With just a few words and her sweet, silent gaze
That makes my head swirl and leaves me in a daze.
While she likes war movies, I like my chick-flicks,
Which have more kisses than swords, guns or sticks.
While she doesn’t read fiction, I quite often pick one
That takes long to read but is nevertheless good fun.
But she gets what I say and smiles with such grace
That it makes my head swirl and leaves me in a daze.
No book is ever written, nor a movie ever made,
About two people whose compatibility doesn’t fade,
‘Cause it’s worthy and special only when it takes
More than just shared interests to seal two lovers’ fates.
I know we’re there when she causes my heart to race
And makes my head swirl and leaves me in a daze.
I feel like talking to her even when I’ve nothing to say,
‘Cause just knowing she’s there really makes my day.
I end up picturing her when I hear a song on the radio,
And we’re looking up at the stars, lying out on the patio,
Probably drinking French wine and munching on Lays,
That makes my head swirl and leaves me in a daze.
Its cute the way she ticks off all the alphabets,
While solving my anagrams, piling up reward debts.
That makes me think I might like her every antic,
She’s the pretty girl I’ve fallen for that makes me frantic
With just a few words and her sweet, silent gaze
That makes my head swirl and leaves me in a daze.
