The Untold Love Story

Truly, many a women,
Alike in fair and flair
Did catch the ball of my eye
There was nothing telling
About any of them yet
And I, spoilt for choice
Confessed my undying love
To all but one that in time
Bore the fruit of my loins

She was crafty with her noose
Hanging o’er my head
And as fate would have it,
Time was nigh for the chickens
To come home to roost
A choice had been made and I,
No longer the eligible bachelor,
Still bemoan, to this day
My dearth of choice

When my teenage daughter
Nudges me in years to come
About how I met her mother,
I’ll have the perfect fairy tale
Of a damsel in distress,
And a one-horse-open sleigh
 “I rescued her from her pursuers,
Then she collapsed in my arms…

I knew she was the one”
