One Zebra Dies In the World Every Sixteen Mins I Know Nothing About Zoology Or Zebras

AL DE LA MY LOVE You and I had everything calculated and planned We were just following fate and its every command Two souls were going to find forever in an unexpected land And neither of us would dare to defy destiny’s demand We were supposed to last a lifetime together no matter what That was a man and his lady’s predetermined plot No one could rattle our teacups or shake up the place Not as long as two lovers had the other’s embrace I recall adding and subtracting and then reaching a perfect sum We were sitting on a settee having biscuits and sharing one glass of rum We shared everything including time, smiles and each other’s past But simply because a person says “forever” doesn’t mean it will last Because you hit a rocky road or a curve at too great a speed At destiny’s demand I didn’t believe death could be so easily decreed We were acting in haste while all the time we thought, devised and planned and sadly together we would never find that forever’s clandestine land © 2010.….free cee!
