“Oh Paul, I shall understand

If you don’t forgive me,”

She says on his doorstep

In a very sorry state.

“Will you?” he asks, “I wouldn’t.”

Then no more can he wait.

He scoops her up off the ground

And carries her inside.

And kisses her until they feel weak,

Until their tears have dried.

Kai, the collie decides to leap up

To greet the young newcomer.

Laughing, she bends to stroke the dog,

Earning three big licks on her nose.

He takes her coat and looks long

At her inviting cleavage,

Slowly, he shakes his head,

And mutters, “Quite ravishing.”

Happily, she smiles at him

But cannot help but blush.

“I bought you a present,”

He says ever so casually.

“I was going to bring it later.”

“What?” she cries.  “A present?”

“I don’t deserve it!”

He smiles. “Hey Penny,

Let me be the judge of that.”

He shows her the door to his lounge,

Suggesting she wait there,

Before going into his bedroom

To collect her present from within,

But in wild anticipation,

She recklessly follows him in.

He holds the gift up, teasingly,

She leaps up in the air.

Somehow they end up on the bed,

He ruffles up her hair.

The gift is a white gold locket

She’d admired at the jewellers

While they had chosen the ring.

He had gone back to buy it

Earlier this very morning.

Overjoyed and delighted,

She can’t believe her luck.

They give into their feelings

And devour each other up.

Nothing else that either can do

No help from up above

So because they simply have to

They make wild passionate love.

Much later while recovered

He says sorry for spoiling her dream.

“So fantastic and you apologise?”

She’s the cat that got the cream.

This doesn’t have to stop her

Walking  up the aisle in white,

After all, she reasons

All that really matters

Will be marrying Mr. Right.
