The Love Story

Once upon a time there was a beautiful maiden swimming
On the surface of the deep blue sea.
Along came an intelligent well coiffed pleasing
Man,
The maiden declared I am drowning could you please
Help Me.

The man lingered and told her tales of great stories,
Fed her dreams of love and peace,
She believed, oh how she believed,
Unabashedly.

She begged please take me ashore in your row boat,
He turned and rowed into the sunset alone,
Declaring “that is business”.
Lori, swam to shore,
And understood the true nature of Love.
