Poem
She sat on the bench eating a pear My eyes were drawn to her in an eye-popping stare She was shorter than me so I was in love I have to have this woman, an angel from above She worked in a restaurant across the way So I would go in and order toasted cheese twice every day For three months, every day toasted cheese Till the voices in me head said “ We sick of it, ask her out please.” So I went in to ask her out The place was packed, people all about Now the counter slopped away from the customer So I tried to lean on it, slipped and fell what a bummer She rushed round and just before I past out, before it was too late I slurred “Will you go out with me for a coffee or a tea,” and that was our first date The next day I sent her flowers and a card I paid a lot, so the rest of the month was hard I called her in the night to see her reaction She was delighted with the affection So I told her you are going to be my wife She laughed and said get a life She said how do you know I said I prayed for it and God said so We dated and eight months, we married And boy what an effort it was over the threshold she was carried That should have been the warning, not better but worse We live together, don’t talk and I stay with an empty purse
