An Affair To Remember

On the couch, legs covered, Deborah sits in delight
Cary, saves the scene being so debonaire
Small talk ensued, flowery now, was full of fight
On the couch, legs covered, Deborah sits in delight
Pretense, with lies, then excuses, then spite
At the end of this scene everyone knows how they fare
On the couch, legs covered, Deborah sits in delight
Cary, saves the scene being so debonaire

Well there is something to be said for "legs covered." They don't bother with those things anymore. Good luck in the contest. Love, Dave

You picked my all time favorite "chick flick!"!!!!!! I cry at the end of the movie, every single time I see it......get chills when he walks into her bedroom and sees the portrait he painted!!! Boo Hoo!!! ...I love this oldie!! (Have you ever seen the "Sleepless in Seattle" ? where Tom Hanks is describing this movie to his brother in law....? it is soo funny watching them make fun of this scene!!! Great choice for the triolet, Charles! Wish I'd thought of it!!!
