I Will Marry You My Dear
She sat by the river facing the crimson sky
watching the birds fly towards the coral sea
sitting prettily on a blanket of lavender tie-dye
she ate her tangerine contentedly as can be
Accoutered in a dress the shade of lilac jelly
she matched the lemon trees of green and Chi
wearing watermelon rouge from the Deli
she smiled, for everything was fine and peachy
A dolphin slapped the chartreuse water with his tail
"look above" he said, watch the parasail
an aquamarine cloth flapped against the wind
and a sign appeared, "marry me, Rosalind!"
She stood on her toes waving at him bold
then flipped her hair of yellow saffron gold
plucking a mallow from behind her ear
she yelled, " I will marry you my dear"
