Pink Domino

A date or two, whoever knew, you and I would marry, one look from you that summer day, didn’t I seem too scary? My pms was terrible, always spilling coffee, nonetheless I sure was a klutz, I'm obsessed with toffee! Remember that time in the lake? poor you I almost drown, pointy pink fish on two toes, I jiggled like a clown! Pregnancy hormones were awful, you stayed like a trooper, resenting you for my crying, you prayed I'd be super! Beneath the moon that starry night, proposed with sweet romance, fell on my feet in the fountain, you had no tweeting chance! I warned you the first day we met, I swore I had a curse, you held my hand through good and bad, you never saw my worst. A date or two, whoever knew, you’d agree to love me, what we’ve been through, I think and laugh, my pink pants I did pee!

I thought this was supposed to be a fun poem? Ain't noting on this earth scarier than a woman with pregnancy hormones =) - also it was a great write, but you probably already knew that.
