Give to me a bawdy and loud lady
\nOne who dances, swears and sings
\nWho loves my friends the more for their quirks
\nWho to all faces a smile brings.P
\nWho sheds her tears without decorum
\nWho is not afraid to hug
\nWho changes her man for the better
\nHim choosing to change not being a mug.
\nWho loves him as he loves her
\nNot being afraidto love or to fight
\nLoves his friends family for all their faults
\nFor none is so rude as the girl polite
\nWho looks the part with winning smile
\nCharacter on first sight true and warm
\nBut with the wicked word against all in private
\nThat stings more than wasps in angry swarm
\nTo lose all because of her Id hate
\nWho brought me in life this far
\nGive to me a bawdy and loud lady
\nWho loves me and mine for who we are!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
