A Missed Engagement



She:  you lied to me in September

He:   my dear I don't remember

She:  you said we would wed in spring

He:    I don't remember a thing

She:   you promised our love forever

He:    now that would be an endeavor

She:   are you mocking me now, kind Sir?

He:    no, my mind's a bit of a blur

She:   then you never meant a word

He:    I'm sorry, this is absurd

She:   then leave me now, you swine

He:    madame, the pleasure is mine

  1. And another one bites the dust.
    I have to wonder if either of them really meant it, or if they just got caught up in the conversation, throwing, as it were, the baby out with the bathwater.
    Whichever it was, you did a magnificent job of writing this in apparently effortless rhyme, Ellecee. Good work.
