And Then I Knew –
This purely hypothetical and speculative,
but based somewhat on fact. Holy Mo’ lee…
PLEASE donut take re-consideration
per getting to know me, if ye consider this a marriage proposition.
That prospect exists; yet merely enjoy the read red reed.
Upon first blush while forces allied steal
whence encountering me future bride
at the contra dance (now more’n a dozen years ago)
felt a maddening crush
upon bended knee, she (with joyous tears) nearly cried
per feeling like she won her own royal flush
seeking that je nais sais quois loving maternal guide
which sands of times ushered us to feel a need to rush
and begin our family who from birth canal
both girls did easily slide.
We twirled and waltzed each other all thru the night
unaware that the live band ceased playing music on stage
and kept pirouetting until the dawn of morning light
that memorable occasion forthwith we both felt a new page
of our respective lives would be filled
with storied joy from this brave knight
and willing lass, whose immediate camaraderie
we did immediate gauge
in whose brown eyes excitement did alight
at the prospect for blissful happiness
and offspring no matter her “advanced” age.
Deux dozen years that day I did proposition thine loving lass
this aging beau still adores the image reflected from the looking glass
no matter the swiftly passage of time displeases me – alas.
