The Abc of Love

THE ABC OF LOVE

A boy called David Edward
Met a girl called Fran.
He asked her on a date
And so a new romance began

Francine gave him instant joy,
Until he asked her whether
She would walk the aisle with him
And spend their lives together

“Kissing, loving, mad nights out
Are all I want from life,”
Said Francine with a grimace.
“I never want to be a wife.”

“Pour Quoi?” Replied sad Ted.
“I thought we got on well.”
“And so we do,” said Francine
“But marriage would be hell.”
