Black and Read

I am going to buy some paint a tin of black then red, so I can ask my lady if she would like to Wed. I"ve found the perfect wall she passes everyday, wait until she reads what it is I have to say. Gonna paint it really tall the letters six feet high, ask her if she"ll stay with me until I die. So I went in to the store and ordered up my paint, but the answer that I got well, it made me feel quite faint. Oh they had plenty black but the red was out of stock, so the women she just said "please, if we could only talk" "Never mind the red, just you think of white, and when she reads the message I"m sure she"ll see the light" So it was that I agreed and bought the black and white, then waited all that day until it was the night. My words they just stood out oh they were quite a sight, my lady she said yes said yes with all her might. So it was that we were married my message won the day, and I cleaned the wall what more can I say. The woman she was right it was exactly as she said, the white it really worked and made the black paint read.
