Poem Title:
Poem
The family was in a state of distress The mom stood pleading with the dad in her pink dress The motif on the fireplace was quite elaborate On the table nearby stood a vase, with flowers to decorate The pattern on the rug was of exquisite design And the room was well furnished, very refined Father stood sternly his pants tucked in his boots They were in shock as they found out the truth Attired in a white dress, their daughter sat in a chair looking forlorn and filled with despair As her" beau" stood by the fireplace across the room The whole house had an air of gloom The young lass was pregnant and she had no groom! Her dad was outraged by this devastating news And was ready to beat up her "beau" Her mom pled with her dad Saying "Please don't harm the lad" The young man did not come to ask for her hand in marriage Causing the family's reputation to be disparaged To add insult to injury the lad said he was already married ! (mother was in tears) This was too much for the father to bear On that fateful day one shot was fired And there by the fireplace the young man expired No storybook ending, no happily ever after But love did triumph....a father's love for his daughter
