WINKEN BLINKEN AND NOD

i spent my young years winking
what a bold audacious flirt
without a hint of worry
how the whims of love might hurt

when seeing girls, attractive
my right eye would start to drop
the other one just blazing
like it was about to pop

but you just left me blinking
for it was a great surprise
there wasn't any chance
to hide the wonder in my eyes

you weren't like any woman
i had previously viewed
and i feared some wicked leering
would be sadly misconstrued

that's when i started nodding
yes, you were the one for me
as if the only woman
i had met in history

i gave up all that winking
and the blinking, oh so odd
for now it is apparent
that i've given you the nod
