Nothing Ever Could Be Better

Nothing Ever Could Be Better

Nothing could be exceptional or finer
Than to be in beautiful Caroliner
Reading either a two or four liner
By humorous Horn in a diner.

Let me tell about a snowman, Ole Frosty
He needs a facelift that's way too costly
Coal eyes are covered by saggy eyelids 
And a dimple chin reaches his forbids

Sometimes the lines between love and hate,
Are so fine they just fade away.
A chance encounter... chance, or fate,
Has made your name each word I say.
