Are You for Real?

Look at your beautiful feet, Anthí mou*

Do you see anything slightly speckled

I count ten cute toes up for your review

Do you discern some area freckled

Look closely, my heavenly perfection

I will even part your toes to perceive

Any hidden mark, spot, dot or flection

I cannot even fathom or conceive

You do have a blemish on your right foot

But you need a microscope to see it

Even if I cover it with some soot

You will not have anything to remit

Methinks this so-called flaw is a mirage

An elaborate M-in-love montage

* my Anthi, in Greek
