She was pretty, she was young;
she was humble she was fun!
She was naive, she was sweet;
she was bubbly, she was neat (!)
He was nice, he was fair
he was handsome, he still had hair (!)
He was older, he was grounded
his character was oh so rounded.
She liked him and he liked her,
Signing up for trouble? Oh yessir!
But what's to do when one's young and rash,
sermons and lectures belong in the trash!
She told her mom, and she told her friend,
about this boy, who seemed God had sent.
Her mom approved, and her friend grudgingly so
'cause they just wanted her happiness, and nothing more.
The days rolled on, and months went by
The happy couple now weren't so shy.
They tweaked circumstances to be together,
unaware of the foreboding, or any rough weather.
But the girl's father, now makes an entrance
Into the scene, it's like a death sentence.
Announcing that she'll marry only of his choice
at this, everyone seems to have lost their voice!
The girl is miserable and quite morose,
"I told you so!" said the friend who went hoarse;
But the girl's determined to make it work
even if it's facing her father, who's no less than a Turk.
So the story will unfold, by and by
and will tell a tale of great hue and cry
of family, love and matrimony
of drama, fears and hegemony!
The girl is sure, but the boy unsure
if now would be a good time to get his life insured!
If you want to know, what is in store
you'll have to stay, and watch this space for more!
