in your pretty skirt

your hair beautifully groomed

you are on the river road

smiling at me

I strolled closer

afraid to say what I desired

carat brilliant in my pocket

wondering if you would

approve it

You sat down near the prickly

pear

I took your hand

drunk from your beautiful lips

then the tornado came

see your astonishment

I want to marry you

the diamond twinkles

flashed in the sunlight

yes yes you whispered

but removed the diamond

reverted it to me

You have to ask me

Dad and Mom first
