Jan Allison Poet Tail-rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I Proposed To Him On Valentine's Day

It’s more usual for a man to propose
on bended knee with a ring and rose
But I asked my boyfriend and when I arose...
He said yes!

Gershon Wolf January 23, 2020 at 7:39 PM Sweet!! … Now with me and my bad knees, my wife couldn't expect me to get down on one knee... She just whacked me over the head with the frying pan and said, 'We might as well be married, eh?!" Smiles, Gershon

Connie Marcum Wong January 20, 2020 at 1:40 AM Absolutely perfect for the contest Jan! If a woman makes her intentions known with hints, a man will feel more confident in asking. It is a big deal for whomever is doing the asking. I loved this! : ) xxoo Jan Allison January 20, 2020 at 5:13 PM Thanks Connie:-) hugs Jan xx
