The World is Full of Happiness

To Babette
February 14, 1990

Have I loved thee in September
As I loved thee Dear in May?
Since I love thee so completely
It's impossible to say.
By the sting of Cupid's arrow
He has granted thee the power
To be dearer every minute
And more precious every hour.
So never change my darling
I earnestly implore.
Though the cup of love is brimming
There is always room for more.
The world is full of happiness
And all of it is mine
Because you're here and near and dear
And you're my Valentine.

We'll Both Be Gladder ~

Wednesday, Jan. 16, 1991

Sarasota Memorial Hospital

To my sweetheart
who's in bed
with extra valium
in his head.
Prostate reaming
has been done
(a back-door
circumci-sion)
Now put this fact
in your journal,
"Please less stops
at every urinal".
With my arteries
and your bladder,
I am sure
we'll both be gladder.

Love,
Babs
