Who Says Romance Is Dead

Who says romance is dead? What is this romance? Did it die as they often said? No, I think not, I don’t think romance is dead. He holds the car door open for me, but only to let me out. He puts the keys in the lock for me, so none hears him shout. He talks to me of all his wishes, but that's so he doesn’t have time for kisses. He soothes my brow when I am stressed, but that’s so he can get a rest. My tea he makes just how I like it, no milk or sugar and hot. He says he does it that way; otherwise, I would like it - not. He holds my hand to stop me wandering far far away, Then he lets go as we cross the lanes on the busy dual carriage way. He introduces me as “The Missis” This love of mine so full of kisses, He kisses everyone he sees, to show that he is faithful He doesn’t need to kiss me, unless he wants to be playful. Romance isn’t dead, I can be assured In his love for me he will not be deterred. He loves me now still quite a lot, But that may be because of the money I’ve got.

I loved the slow lead up to the last line, which caught me by surprise and made me laugh.
