Lena kissed me by mistake
On that old Waurika road?
No, I’d say she was awake
Lips a puckered a la mode.
That’s the luck somehow I’ve had
Even sweetheart like she’d kiss me
Making out as if she’s mad
Lena’d kiss me.

Lena kissed me heard me wrong
In the buggy driving slow
Good and sweet and hard and long
Bosom heaving, eyes a-glow.
O, course she’s daring that there law
That would keep sweethearts from kissing
Even daring Ma and Pa
Lena’d kiss me.

Gloomy eyelids often spill
What is in the inmost heart
T’was an Oklahoma hill
And we two were for apart.
Pony, Delsie, jogging on
Sages wrote a verse most wise
Nothing asked and nothing won
Cupid miss me?

Not if I have strength and will,
Cupid sure is plenty smart
Cupid is no whip-por-will
He can pierce that flinty heart.
Like a string would close a purse
Love was tugging on the line
Surely nothing could be worse
Lena’d kiss me?

So I plops it plain and flat
Jogging down that lonesome hill
God was whip and robe and hat
What an answer, what a dill?
That’s one time I know full well
That my ears were just supreme
And my hearing, it was swell
Lena kissed me.

What’s the price for getting bold?
Doing what this lady bad
Hair that’s gray that once was gold
Since that visit with her Dad.
O’course a family of six
But it’s fun and love when there
Writing love sick limericks
Lena kissed me.
