I like the physical aspects of this poem. Quick and sharp and a perfect rhyme! Good Job!

What a great idea, WW. Your imagination and creativity are unparalleled.... Btw, I can't even get down one knee to propose what you've recommended, as my knees are shot, (even after replacement surgery)! Thanks, Gershon

I had forgotten about the one knee. Now I am remembering and smiling.

That's why it's harder to get married in old age--- male knees are rickety and need replacement! Smiles... ~ Can't get down anymore. LOL.

There must be a lot more to this story. I like that it makes me think.

Oh, exactly, my friend: This is the quintessential 'thinking poem' for the 'thinking reader/viewer,' written by the 'Poet of Few, but significant, Thoughts.' LOL. Seriously, I appreciate your nice comment, Richard. Cheers, Gershon

Correct, O Medicated One... Down on one knee is the (old-fashioned!) way of proposing. Yet think about what it indicates in our 'liberated times' of today! LOL... At any rate, today one floats his proposal in a streamer from a Goodyear Blimp over the Super Bowl, or some such. Modesty will out!! ~ Dr. Wolf (Feel better soon, Brenda!)
