Fur Mila
By Fahim Firfiray
Wolverhampton, November 1990
For me and Mila
It's two years married
But there is a thought
I have always carried
I've been racking my brains
and pulling my hair
To locate what makes Mila
beyond all compare
Is it the fact
that she's internationally known
From the forums of Frankfurt
to the courts of Cologne
Or is it her intelligence
with a mind that's astute
Examining the details
of precedents minute
Maybe it's her wit
that deserves the real shout
Whatever it was
I could not work it out
But then in MacDonalds
I found inspiration
And located the factors
behind this sensation
The sole thoughts that accompanied
my milkshake and fries
Were her warm smiling face
and amiable eyes
