Suzette Richards contest

8 syllables x3 followed by 5 syllables line

Call It Puppy Love

to look at her each day I went,
saw her first when she paid me rent,
staring at her was time well spent,
……so near yet so far!
should have proposed that very day,
my dad said what I could not say,
she now loves me motherly way,
….. and yet here we are!
