TECTONIC

I wondered if a person's occupation would affect
his/her style when writing a love letter/poem
so I decided to write
1. as a geophysicist and
2. as an insurance salesman.
There could be more if I get round to it.
An 84 year old knackered pensioner?? (forget it)

TECTONIC
by
Frank Bryce (BSc Geo, failed)

The restless earth stirs in its sleep
And testily shrugs a mountain aside,
Drowns an island,
Fractures a town,
Stretches and brings a mudslide down.

But not all movement is undesired,
And Nature's force won't be required
The earth will move
And worlds collide
When our epicentres coincide.

UNDER GUARANTEE

I quite fancy you, though I'm not sure why,
But maybe together we could give it a try?*

Perhaps in time you'll get used to my ways
I'll give you my love if you promise to stay**

To make it easier to reach a decision
You can have the spare room and both televisions***

I really will try to be all that you need
I'll cherish you, follow wherever you lead,
Play with you, stay with you, as long as I may,
I'll always be there as night follows day,
Nothing will part us no matter how odd
