Leonard Claude Dowty (Jan 1929 - Dec 2010) | American
I love you more than an eye has winks.
I love you more than the sphinx has thinks,
More than the Swiss have holes in their cheese,
More than Australia's surrounded by seas.
I love you more than plastic is pliant.
I love you more than the Jolly Green Giant.
I love you more than the Nile has miles,
More than the Mona Lisa smiles,
More than the Alps have snow-covered peaks,
More than a baby has pink in its cheeks.
I love you more than quail or venison.
I love you more than Alfred Lord Tennyson.
I love you more than the rain is wet,
More than the sum of the national debt,
More than diapers are folded and pinned,
And not a bit less than the devil has sinned.
I love you more than gypsies are swarthy.
I love you more than Charlie McCarthy.
I love you more than Alaska is cold,
More than King Midas treasured his gold,
More than a flush has beaten a straight,
Considerably more than an elephant's weight.
I love you more than Scarlett loved Tara.
I love you much more than Shrimp Marinara.
I love you more than turtles need shells,
More than a llama needs double l's,
More than the British sing "G-d Save the Queen",
More than Cole Porter began the beguines.
I love you more than there's corn in a silo.
I love you more than the Venus de Milo.
I love you more than a radar has blips,
I love you more than Flipper flips,
More than Roebuck is coupled with Sears,
More than they duel in "The Three Musketeers".
I love you more than the stretch of elastic.
I love you so much – it's really fantastic!
