A 130 Turn Around

My lover's skin is nothing like a rose

Sandpaper is more silken to the touch

If teeth be straight, then his must decompose

If hairs be money, he is lacking much

I've seen others seductive to behold

with stature tall, firm, graceful, strong and sleek

with sculpted muscles not fat in the fold

But no such grace see I in his physique

I love it when he boldly sings aloud

though softer sounds a screeching owl might make

I grant his dancing may not always do him proud

My lover moves the floor like an earthquake

And yet I love him just the same you see

For he has wisely chosen to love me
