<\/div>\n

Once a upon a time there was a man of no surprise,<\/p>\n

No matter how much he tried his actions were his demise.<\/p>\n

He thinks he will be clever in getting his girl to the alter<\/p>\n

So he takes her to the wedding ring counter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With questions and jests to the clerk of the place<\/p>\n

He tries to get her into perusing the wedding ring case<\/p>\n

When she does not respond and wonders off to look around<\/p>\n

He suddenly spots her Christmas present he had found.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a huff and a puff, and his brain shut down<\/p>\n

He calls Dancer and Prancer to send her to town<\/p>\n

Away with you, he cries, away with you now<\/p>\n

And with a frown, to the food court she does plow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After a time with brain still in a muddle<\/p>\n

His thoughts come back and now thinks he can cuddle<\/p>\n

So he runs to the one he wants most in his life<\/p>\n

Remembering his first plan that was to ask her to be his wife.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As he finds her outside the food court at the mall<\/p>\n

Then suddenly asks the question to be answered first of all<\/p>\n

Will you marry me he says with a shout<\/p>\n

Not thinking about that he had just cast her out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She still wanted to be mad that he sent her away<\/p>\n

you dismiss me then ask me that, she says to his dismay<\/p>\n

but she could not stay mad at him long<\/p>\n

for she knew it was with him was where she belonged<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So she stopped prolonging his grief and worry<\/p>\n

And told him yes she it was him she would marry.<\/p>\n

For the one thing a girl wants is a man that is true<\/p>\n

And no bad surprises in a husband is a big thing too<\/p>\n
