Gershon Wolf Poet Pantoum

The Marriage Announcement

She called me up a while ago
In her voice there was a glow
I've got some news for you, said she
I'm getting married soon, you see

In her voice there was a glow
I knew that you would want to know
I'm getting married soon, you see
It mattered not if I agreed

I knew that you would want to know
And, Dad, it's kind of late, and so
It mattered not if I agreed
Goodbye for now; I've got to go

And, Dad, it's kind of late, and so
What's the name, dear, of your beau
Goodbye for now; I've got to go
We haven't met; please take this slow

What's the name, dear, of your beau
I've got some news for you, said she
We haven't met; please take this slow
She called me up a while ago

M. L. Kiser August 5, 2019 at 9:04 PM Oh boy, too much secrecy there; did you ever get his name? Gershon Wolf August 6, 2019 at 4:03 PM Yes. I have his name now, though I doubt he knows mine. :) gw
