My Girl, More Precious Than a Pearl

What can I say of my girl? What more than of a pearl, Valuable among all treasures, Delighting the eye with a measure Beyond all things in the world? Well, no pearl can compete with a child Though some do get kind of wild And who else can drive one insane And entertain bringing joyful pain? And a pearl cannot be a friend Talking to you ’til night’s end. And no pearl will laugh at your joke Or join you in an occasional smoke. Yeah, she is indeed the best girl ever Got looks, patience, kindness, even clever; She can keep that budget right tight. Though I strain with all my might To stretch it for this and for that, She clamps down on me like I’m a rat That needs to get caught in that trap. So I try not to wine and give her crap ‘Cause I know she knows what’s up. And I comply like well mannered pup.
