10 Minutes To Decide
With his back turned he looks away from her
He depends on his trusty watch and waits
Her response will be today, he knows it
He hears them talk behind him, which abates
What did she say, what was her sure answer
His friend said that you may now turn around
He begins to turn then she says no wait
And back to their discussion they went down
Minutes went by then it came upon ten
He said he’ll turn around now and visit
The women stopped their chatter together
And he turned, what’s her answer, what is it?
