Big Love Part 2

He decided that the only way to get to her was to take a little stroll, It gave him time to work on his line and he wanted to sound droll. He decided that the line he’d use when he came to her island there, “I hear that they call you Lady Liberty so I’ve come to take my share.” In his mind it sounded like something that James Bond would say to a girl, The more he thought about it though the more it sounded like Milton Berle. He decided that he’d just have to be himself and hope that it would turn out for the best, He hadn’t been this nervous since the last time he had to take an algebra test. You see, he wanted to take a chance on love because he was a romantic guy, And what he wanted more than anything else was at least a chance to try. When you’re one hundred and thirty feet tall you have limited options for a date, So you have to take your swings when you’re up to bat if you want to find a mate. He tried to buy a ticket to Staten Island but they’d have none of that, But the ferry captain was a romantic too and told him to be careful where he sat. He looked across the water to where she stood and he could see that she was tinted green, He thought that she was probably the most beautiful shade of green he’d ever seen.
