Sonnet 47

It's true - it was drastic action I took

To please my Significant Other:

It's a Full Montyesque makeover look -

I had Post Divorce Syndrome to smother

And felt obliged to feed her eyes a feast

With this big Shakespeareanesque heart,

Take a closer look - be my honoured guest;

Don't matter how you peer there is no part

Left of what romantics call "My First Love".

Yes, he may have had the first shot at me,

But that's cool - here's the sign of how times move:

My whole body tattoo tribute's to thee.

    There's not a bare patch of flesh left in sight,

    Round my eyes I inked (You're our)  (Heart's delight).
