Toffee

Toffee 
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Once upon a time
A Cape Town where they live
This windy place where it is cold
His name is Gwynne glee
Her name is Phyllis glow
A little shy was he
To ask on her
Her hand in love
She pride herself
And would not 
Listen to his cry
She would not trip
Like biscuit on his catch
Little did she know that
On his lucky day
A windy blow came by
And combed her hair
In her eyes 
And in orbit
She was falling down
With breath and length
Of hand he winged her up
On nearly hitting ground
Her first time smile
Glowed his face a while
In his pocket was a toffee
He handed her
Which let him smile
For a lifetime..
Little did she know
She would fall
For him.
