“
David?” she whispered.
“Yeah?”
“Sing me a song.”
“What kind of song, baby?”
“A love song.”
“Millie, Millie, You’re so silly. I’m so glad your name’s not Willy,” I sang in my best country twang.
“Willy?”
“Let me rephrase.” I cleared my throat and began again. “Millie, Millie, you’re so silly, I’m sure glad you don’t have a willy.”
“That’s not a love song,” she giggled.
“Okay. How about this? I love your legs. I love your chest, but this spot here, I love the best.” I tickled her smooth stomach and she squirmed against me.
“Keep singing!” she demanded, swatting my hand away.
“I love your chin and your funny grin, I love your hair and that spot there.” I tickled her beneath her right rib and she grabbed my fingers, laughing.
“I love it! Second verse, please.”
“I love the way you shake your booty, I love the way you smell so fruity! I love the way you call me David, and . . . . la la la nothing rhymes with David.”
“That was beautiful,” she giggled. “What’s it called?”
“It’s called ‘Nothing Rhymes with David.’”
“Nothing rhymes with David?” Her voice was disbelieving, and she was quiet for several seconds, as if trying to find a word that rhymed to prove me wrong
