I Gave My Love a Cherry

I gave my love a cherry 
And asked him to bake a pie
I washed the dirty dishes
And told him he could dry
I carried up the laundry
To see if he could fold
I took his favorite sweatshirt
And told him I was cold
I handed him a hammer
To fix the broken rail
And when I gave my love a ring
He gave me his voicemail.

So well put, Kitty Lou. Typical, but disappointing outcome.
