The Romantic Life

He bought her a rose
It died in her hand

He baked her banana cake
Anaphylaxis kicked in

He gave her a puppy
It peed on her skirt

He took her skating
Her head took eight stitches

He threw a pebble at her window
It shattered the glass

He tinkered with her engine
It blew the next day

He built her a fire
But the flames wouldn’t catch

He wore uniforms to bed
She preferred reading instead

He took her to Neverland
She’d been there before

He fell asleep on her lap
And proceeded to snore

He introduced her to his parents
She was sick off the wine

He tickled her toes
She kicked out his teeth

They grew old together
And romanced forever
