Spring Surprise

There once was a girl named Bo
Her dad did not like her beau 
So one day they eloped
But Bo’s dad dashed their hope
He sprang from behind with bolo.









*bolo - noun, a large, heavy, single-edged knife or machete for hacking, used in the   Philippines and by the U.S. Army

Ah, he would have, given the chance...but the lovers sprang in opposite direction...regrouped at the edge of the village...and finally eloped. Poor grandpa had no choice but to accept the beau! lol...But that bit of info I can no longer add to the verse...Thank you sire, for the visit and comment... Hugs and smiles! :)
