“MARRY ME” JITTERS
One thought prevails throughout David’s day
He racks his brain as to how he will say,
This important piece of news which repeats in
His mind like a rhyme,
He knows he must get it right, he is running,
Out of time!
David was a typical nerd, and was on a quest,
To find
Words that were passionate, daring yet gentle,
And kind,
He hoped they would not come out as ridiculous
Or sublime,
For the line between the two was extremely
Fine!
David suddenly had an incredible surge, and with
It ,a revelation,
That could satisfy his constant quest for his
Wedding speech, this really was a wow stimulation,
Thank goodness, for he was beginning to believe,
His brain was going into hibernation!
As the heart and the brain are one,
The heart realized,
That David needed help, and jumped
To his aid and pumped,
Blood to his brain which surged at not one,
But two and half times more than it should!
David was on a high anyone would.
With adrenaline pumping,
And his heart and brain thumping,
He thought of a perfect speech
And let out a heartfelt screech!
His heart had given his brain a much
Needed energy drink,
Which allowed David to discover new
Dimensions within which he could think.
At this moment he was so hyped up, he needed
To not stress for a while,
And be spaced out for an hour or two, in an
Alice in Wonderland style.
But for this to happen he was given a
Half a Valium dose,
By late afternoon, David would be
Prepared to propose,
He woke up chilled out,
And so ready to sprout
To the life- long love of his life, Alice,
Who was pretty, gregarious and small.
As they stood on the bottom stair,
Of the Reception Hall,
They looked quite a special pair,
For David in contrast was plump, not handsome
And not tall.
David presented a perfect speech that night,
He was married to Alice his darling wife,
And everything turned out absolutely right!
