More than a catbird hates a cat,
Or a criminal hates a clue,
Or the Axis hates the United States,
That's how much I love you.
I love you more than a duck can swim,
And more than a grapefruit squirts,
I love you more than a gin rummy is a bore,
And more than a toothache hurts.
As a shipwrecked sailor hates the sea,
Or a juggler hates a shove,
As a hostess detests unexpected guests,
That's how much you I love.
I love you more than a wasp can sting,
And more than the subway jerks,
I love you as much as a beggar needs a crutch,
And more than a hangnail irks.
I swear to you by the stars above,
And below, if such there be,
As the High Court loathes perjurious oathes,
That's how you're loved by me.

(full disclosure: the above poem was stolen, part and parcel, from Ogden Nash's 'To My Valentine'. It express my feeling about Kerikeri to perfection.)
So, you'd recommend living in Kerikeri, then?
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
