(By Katie Scarlet O'Musing)
"Oh please, oh please,"
On bended knee,
Off of my feet
He swept me.
I was his love,
His turtle dove
But why has he
Not KEPT ME?
To think, dear Sir
How you did purr
Those nothings sweet
And charming.
You pitched your woo,
I fell for you
Then bells began
Alarming.
You changed your mind
Which seemed unkind
But now I see
God's leading.
He heard my cry
And told me why
This garden
Needed weeding
A Lancelot
Dear Sir, you're not
Nor I
Damsel Distressing.
God stayed my hand
From golden band
A thing which
Is a blessing.
That vows of Love
Go hand in glove
A premise
We're assuming.
But to get attached
To our un-match
Is not good bride
And grooming.
I know out there's
A guy who cares,
And wants his
Other halfing.
To him I'll seem
His perfect dream
A Proverbs woman,
...Laughing!
So, be wise, you guys,
Before those sighs
To girls you may
Be dumping.
It might be smart
Upon your part
To PRAY
Before you're jumping.
Don't Promise June
Or honeymoon
If she is not
For Promise Keeping
Just leave her there
Don't be a pair,
Please LOOK
Before you're leaping!
No Valentine
To claim as mine,
Just makes my head
So groggy.
But staying home
To write a po'm
Beats courting by
Some froggy. :0)
