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

I do. Does he know mine? Who knows? Who cares? … Sad, the whole thing. :) gw

Oh boy, too much secrecy there; did you ever get his name?
