Happy Valentines Day!!

Poetikat recently ran a competition for someone to win a poem about them. I was the lucky winner and here is my poem, she says in a rap theme - Thanks Kat!

THIS IS THE STORY OF HAYLEY AND PHIL
THEY MET IN THE PARADOX WHEN HAYLZ WAS STILL
ONLY A GIRL, JUST GONE 15
HE TRIED TO PULL HER, SO SHE HAD TO COME CLEAN
TIED UP IN A TIGHT RELATIONSHIP
SHE COULDN’T SEE HIM--JUST WOULDN’T BE HIP
BUT 2 YEARS LATER, THE BOYF WAS THROUGH
SHE HIT THE CLUBS AND BUMPED INTO
THE SAME NICE BLOKE—THEY SHARED A KISS
ARRANGED TO MEET—THE REST IS "HIS"
THEY TRIED GETTIN’ JIGGY AT PHIL’S MUM’S PLACE
SHE CAUGHT THEM AT IT; SHOULD’A SEEN HER FACE!
SO THEY MOVED IN TOGETHER JUST SIX MONTHS ON
THEN THEY FELL IN LOVE AND THAT’S NO CON.
JUST LAST YEAR THEY TIED THE KNOT
DOWN IN SUNNY CANCUN WHERE THE BREEZE BLOWS HOT
WHEN IT CAME THE TIME FOR HAYLZ’ BLOOD TEST,
PHIL HELD HER HAND TO PUT HER MIND AT REST.
THEY LOVE THEIR PARTIES AND THEY LOVE THEIR FOOD
HE KNOWS THAT DRINK WILL PUT HER IN THE MOOD.
SO THEY HAVE THEME NIGHTS WITH SOME WINE AND CHEESE,
OR A LITTLE MEXICAN WITH TEQUILA PLEASE!
IT TOOK SOME COAXING FOR A JOINT BANK ACCOUNT
BUT THEY’RE SAVING UP A PRETTY GOOD AMOUNT
FOR A BIKE FOR PHIL, AND A BRAND NEW HOUSE
SO HE’S DOWN WITH IT AND HE DOESN’T GROUSE.
SOON THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BABY ON THE WAY
HE’LL BE OVER THE MOON ON THAT HAPPY DAY
IN THE MEANWHILE HE’S TREATING HER SO WELL, SO FAR
AT CHRISTMASTIME HE BOUGHT HIS GIRL A CAR!
HAYLEY IS A VIRGO WITH A LEVEL HEAD
AND PHIL’S A PISCES – HAVING FUN INSTEAD
BUT THEY’RE GOOD FOR EACH OTHER AND THAT’S LEGIT
SO THEY’RE BOTH MADE UP –THEY’RE A PERFECT FIT!
