Fur Mila

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
