Do melons grow in Java,
and do poems grow as well?
Do you see them line by line?
I must come to Java soon...
There we will eat melons
and you can read your poems.
You must read them to me,
line by wicked line.
Then we will go swimming
in your pool shaped like a melon.
You always were unpractical,
but I adore your long love lines.
