Frankly, I don't understand you on this one. If she is affectedly pretty and cute, as opposed to actually pretty, then why would you, a saint, want to give yourself to her? Probably, there is something I am missing here. I had to look up "twee" a briticism that I may be misinterpreting. Or maybe it's a sly way of saying you are not a saint.
It's not supposed to be particularly meaningful. The first line is more or less the definition of 'Twee', the second is just about the most twee phrase I could think of. Put them together, and you have a couplet which defines and exemplifies the word. A bit of fun, nothing more.
Also, it's the sinners - not the saints - who get the pretty ones.
i think i can see a particularly tasty meaning if we consider that a bishop may become a saint. giving a pretty, dainty, and quaint thang the "bishop"... well, maybe she would be giving up her soul, if you believe the church.
I like it.
I like this, its fun.
^_^
...Then we'll be a couple quite faint.
...Don't expect more than you ain't. LOL... Cute little ditty:)
Faint heart never won fair maid, huh? ;-)
multilayered bit of fun...is it deep....is it ironic ...surely not cynical... a comment on the human condition or aspiration...i give up... enjoyed reading it though :)
Hmmzor.
Hurdle
Weird but cute.
Bollocks
She can have my bollocks too. After all, the foundation of traditional marriage is 'what's mine is yours'.
i like the naughty and funny meaning that can be read into this.
