It Started As a First Date

It started off amiable The exchange always amicable They had a first date t’was unavoidable Opted for a light lunch truly delectable Somehow the conversation got questionable His stories grew somewhat unbelievable Tall tales quickly became inconceivable She started finding him reprehensible Highly doubted they were compatible Pictured herself as becoming rather unavailable But the twinkle in his eye was ultra lovable She began wondering why his intentions seemed illegible Suspected it was a front impregnable Yet his heart deep down might be really valuable After all it might not be so inaccessible That gem inside might be attainable So a little patience might be desirable Because he wasn’t that detestable There was a little something so adorable Eventually things changed and became quite bearable And then even pretty enjoyable So much so she decided to make this bachelor ineligible A ring soon made their commitment palpable Now their love has become infallible And married life is incomparable AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on February 22, 2018 for contest BEST RHYMING POEM SO FAR THIS YEAR sponsored by JOHN HAMILTON
