I'd do it for You

[dafydd manton]

I'd swim the deepest sea for you,
The backstroke, or the crawl.
I'd cross the widest canyon,
Despite the risk of fall.
I'd cross the hottest desert
Upon my hands and knees.
I'd navigate the jungles
By swinging through the trees.
I'd climb the highest mountain,
With a total lack of training.
I'll see you down the Flicks tonight,
Provided it's not raining

sounds like lyrics from a 30's song!

Sounds like you are crossing the borders Daffy. Mixing your styles. You have become prolific and when someone writes as well as you thats a bloody good thing.
( Matron, he is mixing his styles, give him extra pills and a double dose of Nightnurse)

I'd swim the deepest sea for you,
The backstroke, or the crawl.
I'd cross the widest canyon,
Despite the risk of fall.
I'd cross the hottest desert
Upon my hands and knees.
I'd navigate the jungles
By swinging through the trees.
I'd climb the highest mountain,
With a total lack of training.
I'll see you down the Flicks tonight,
Provided it's not raining

So thus you drop your mask just for the last two, as if casual, lines! and the preceding passionate discourse, a seeming long cliché! this becomes real artistry! what an irony. Bravo. Keep on!

So interesting as it's so often a contention in relationships, the I would do this would-you thing!

You are a great poet, daffyd.

I echo those earlier posters who see this as a lovesong - perhaps the kind of serenading George Formby excelled at (says he reaching for his ukelele).
