I have only one good eye which affects my left view

Yet with a slight turn I could see the beauty of you

I may not see far but I have a great inner sight

To tell you what I noticed I do not feel contrite

First time I met you I could sense a true winning style

Nothing seemed real hopeless you had a winning smile

You overall come across as refined and genteel

So if you'd agree to dine that would be ideal

I am so serious this is not an escapade

And if I could sing I would sing you a serenade

To make outlandish promises would be so unwise

I do not possess an ego which is oversize

I have most needs I'm neither borrower nor lender

You could give honest advice and be my great mentor

I still admire you so much perhaps I always shall

But might you become closer more than my my best pal

Over years I have grown diplomatic smart and wise

I am not trying to pull thick wool over your eyes

The mornings are getting late and the evening starting to advance
The autumn leaves are falling there are no fresh flowers on the plants
Thank God I am not dependent on the seeds I sowed in the ground
If I weighed most of the new crops not too many would weigh a pound 
All springs are the same I buy so much seedlings with no fear of cost
Plant them too early and lose most of then to a sudden late frost

The purpose of spring is to dig and cultivate and then proceed
Then all through the hot summer season each day water thin and weed
You get so excited when you see buds come pushing into sight
Belying the fact that one day it could reach over eight foot height 
Owing to my failures with veggies sun flowers are my weak spot
But I also like the flowers that blossom inside in a pot

The first day I met you girl I knew you were unique
We were tentative and found it hard at first to speak
Because of sudden bravery I was not deterred
For our answers we both seemed to prefer just one word
To hold real long chats we were not up to the task
For you to be my steady I knew I'd have to ask 

It was not yet serious but still we carried on
With a beer I would sing but I am no Elton John
You said you loved my singing and became my big fan
Deep down you admitted a love for Duran Duran
I said that was not me I was not up to that task
If you wanted an Irish song you wouldn't have to ask.

Since I've met you I'm so happy I am elated 
We have lots in common so it's not complicated
We can't go dancing or swimming we are so confined
A distortion of nature and the laws of mankind
Because of the pandemic rules we both wear a mask 
Or else I'd hug and kiss you or would I have to ask?
