Overboard In Love
On the icy edge of never
where she turned down every try,
he pursued his great endeavor
with a twinkle in his eye.
Never take no for an answer,
was his motto to the end,
for he was a great romancer,
hiding out as just a friend.
In the middle of the Harbor,
swimming with her in July,
he expressed his growing ardor,
giving blatant truth a try.
Though she laughed then at the notion,
(he was older,fat and bald)
she remarked at his devotion,
and she seemed a bit enthralled,
Then he spoke about his money
and a precious diamond ring
she began to call him honey,
They were married in the spring.
So don't jump to quick conclusions,
when the prospect's looking dim,
Love is more than sweet effusions,
bring your bankbook when you swim.
