HER FATHER DRANK BLACK BITTER COFFEE

 

Her father drank black bitter coffee

Her mother sipped earl grey tea

As I stood before her parents

I was full of fear and anxiety

It was a very daunting experience

And it was not at all as I planned

I was there for a noble purpose

To ask for their daughter’s hand

 

As the object of my attentions

Sat demurely drinking her juice

Her father started choking

And mother turned strangely puce

 

We left the house hand in hand

Running head long from the pair

They had both forbad consent

But the lovers really didn’t care

 

So, they went to the Savoy Hotel

And ordered chilled Chardonnay
which came in crystal goblets

Carried on a large silver tray

 

They sat in luxury surroundings

Until the bottle was empty

And their hearts were full of love

And their future was full of plenty
