Pinocchio's Proposal

Pinocchio found a girl
She put his heart in a whirl
He met her near a wishing well
His love of her he must tell
The trouble was she wasn't real
He could relate to her ordeal
She was carved, as was he
He blurted "Wood you marry me?"
But deaf and mute, blind as a bat
She answered not, and that was that

Pinocchio broke down in tears and cried - For love had flown away and broke his pride - Though he has a wooden heart - It's sore and yes it does smart - Not having the wooden doll by his side…. Beryl

Ha ha! Very good! "Wood you marry me?" Very clever. Like this twist in the tale, Pinocchio now a real boy falling for a real doll. Adding to faves :-D
