This one courtesy of Miss Maya Kaabour, poetess extraordinaire. It's modeled on "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allen Poe.
(One language note: adding "tee" to the end of a feminine name is the way to indicate "my __" in Arabic.)
It was a few days ago,
Somewhere on Mina Street.
That a maiden there lived of whom you may know
By the name of Eva-tee:
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Thank to bake cookies and eat cookies with me.
I was a child and her pancakes were wild,
In this kitchen on Mina Street.
But we loved with a love kept warm by baking gloves-
I and my Eva-tee:
With a love that the winged dessert chefs of heaven coveted her and me.
