"Do come right on in and let us begin / And when you leave please take along this smile // But my broken heart belongs to someone far away / (Hello Mr. Chips) and we will meet again someday"

Transcendental Sonnet #1309:

Please Take Along This Smile (Hello Mr. Chips)

 

an inscription for a book as yet unwritten

 

Dear reader should you be an Anglophile

I do hope you will stop in here awhile

And if you are not perhaps you forgot

How charming we can be as you will see

 

And reader should you be an Anglophobe

Poetry hospitality and tea

Should soften you up as you gently probe

The secrets of the universe with me

 

I had a tenant called me Mr. Chips

I have been told I have sensitive lips

Do come right on in and let us begin

And when you leave please take along this smile

 

But my broken heart belongs to someone far away

(Hello Mr. Chips) and we will meet again someday

Ah Mr. Lance, your heart is showing through these witty words. In the end though your heart belongs to you and you choose where to place it. I hope that the recipient of your affections always treats you well. You deserve it!
