Chirpy Dirges

Serenade 4 Harriets

Harriet, 
I'll rickshaw your chariot.
Jesse James Herriot
can spare the lariat.
My claw in marriage, should she parry it, 
then my soul, let Charon ferry it.
She'll never look irked
like a slapped halibut,
coz I ain't no jiggy 
Judas Iscariot.
I won't even flirt 
if it cause my Harriet hurt.

My heart is a Harriet
jumping jet.
My heart is the scary bit:
pumping like a hummingbird's 
jackhammer romantic.
Pumping like a hummingbird's,
gem sparra pneumatic.

Harriet, I'll be fully paidup member 
of the salariat.
I'll eat celariac 
& I won't vary it.
Be your tin soldier like Steve Marriot.
Won't be a lairey get or convert to the Kaliphate,
morph into a marital martinet.
We'll always be Romeo & Harriet
- If it's not L.A.F.S., 
I'll win your love on aggregate.
