You ask how much I miss her?

You ask how much I miss her?
Let me tell you all the ways
For sure more than my fair share 
For certain more than it pays 

I miss her by the buckets 
By the dozen and in bulk
So much that I shoot rockets 
My feelings, strong, as the hulk 

I miss her in the morning
And the place she used to be
As Smeagol covets his ring
As the blind wish they could see 

I miss her brains and beauty 
Her gorgeous eyes and long hair 
As a pirate loves booty
I treasure her in my lair 

I miss her as my duty 
As a soldier his lost legs
I loved her waist and booty 
She was bacon to my eggs

I miss her religiously 
As a bishop worships Christ 
And through the night, secretly 
Like all good thieves do their heist 

I miss her each afternoon 
as a Hale misses the earth 
Like the son misses the moon
It's all true, for what is worth 

I miss her during late nights
When I study at my desk 
Whiles the dying of the lights 
At the end of this burlesque 

I miss her in deep sorrow 
Sweet and sad is my tune now 
Like there is no tomorrow 
Forgetting, I don't know how 

I miss her like she's gone far
& wish she came back to me
As if she'd stolen my car 
So very much so, you see.
