Leonard and Virginia

How do I love you?  Let me count the ways,

I worship you and Mrs. Dalloway,

I eagerly go with you to new plays,

I'll retire with you, forever I'll stay.

Do I let you down?   Let me count the ways,

At your parties I make nice to ladies,

I am sometimes insincere with my praise,

My arts of love are the arts of Hades.

Next year will be forty years since we met,

We're a picture of domesticity,

But then again our pattern's never set,

Our drama features much plasticity.

Sometimes you're Leonard and I'm Virginia,

We switch the roles in our co-dominia.
