His manly quest took him far and wide
seeking dominion with virility and pride
but what the great explorer secretly denied
was having a good woman by his side.

--

The sunrise couldn't even begin to compete
so it remained low key and unnaturally discreet
by asking for permission and kissing the feet
of a woman whose golden glow was hard to beat!

--

Style and colour often depends
on the fickle nature of fashionable trends
and the instinctive message that it sends:
Always listen to a woman and her friends!

--

She's a missing person in my life.
I'm searching for my darling wife
but her mind resides somewhere else instead
and there's a stranger sleeping in our bed!

--

The music of Vera Lynn brought back a tear
to the legionnaire who lost someone dear
during a volatile time when one never knew
that love lasts forever but the days were so few.
