The Miser and the Model

The miser and the model 
are a couple, you might say, 
yet they don't speak to one another, 
she treats him like a brother, 
how to add a little romance 
and excitement to their day? 

He forgoes his prime obsession 
and decides on a surprise 
for his delectable companion 
with such sadness in her eyes. 
He promises forever 
with no secrets and no lies. 

As a miser he hoards money, 
as a model she craves size, 
so he gives up on his stinginess, 
forks out three thousand dollars 
to provide her with that extra lift, 
such joy... the perfect prize!
