Harold's letter found in his briefcase

 


Harold's letter found in his briefcase


You always look like a stunning daydream


A young Katharine Hepburn 

A true African Queen


With crow black hair and dark mesmerizing eyes 

That cry out and scream


I'm unique, 

The strongest independent woman you've ever seen.


So bend thy knee

And I'll show you some wild sights 


I know 

You've prayed every night to see


To make you mine

As I turn your whole world 

Right upside down 


So here's to you


My midnight African Queen who makes me go weak at my knees


Whenever I see your beautiful pictures


Just waiting for you to call me on 

(555) 555-1334 and come around


To knock on my front door so we can go around town and paint it red


When this


My only love letter is finally posted and found


And you hear my familiar voice 

Talking in your head
