je t'aime plus que..

We don't celebrate valentines, but this poem remains my favourite.
He makes no fuss about it, but its been that long since I posted anything to him.
So here goes.

Of course its specially for mon prince de Perse, my comedian the apt pupil, my sweet 'fat' guy,the serious preacher, the garang bonzer, the ikan bilis lover, the tiger tamer, the ikan keli catcher, the football captain-tennis-badminton-kite runner hero, the avid PS2 gamer (haha),the horrid Chelsea supporter, my books wholesaler, my favourite favourite, you remain my all time number one. Hope this brings a smile on your face.

Je t'aime plus que..un valentine :)

To My Valentine
by Ogden Nash

More than a catbird hates a cat
Or a criminal hates a clue
Or the Axis hates the United States
That’s how much I love you

I love you more than the duck can swim
And more than a grapefruit squirts
I love you more than a gin rummy is a bore
And more than a toothache hurts

As a shipwrecked sailor hates the sea
Or a juggler hates a shove
As a hostess detests unexpected guests
That’s how much you I love

I love you more than a wasp can sting
And more than the subway jerks
I love you as much as the beggar needs a crutch
And more than a hangnail irks

I swear to you by the stars above
And below, if such there be
As the High Court loathes perjurious oaths
That’s how you are loved by me
