When the daughter of my Dad's friend
brought her future husband to meet her family, this is what her Dad
told her.
The son-in-law never forgot it.
I just thought it would sound fun as a
poem . . .
Intended
Her family had all been awaiting this
call.
When they finally could meet her
intended.
Unsure if a wedding ball'd ever befall
Or if spinster-hood ever portended.
But a young man, she'd met who was
perfect, she'd bet,
In whose honour and love she felt sure.
So homeward, she'd set, their opinion
to get,
And to tell her her choice would
endure.
Her father shook hands with her sturdy
young man
And questioned him closely a while.
They talked of his clan, and he asked
him his plans,
Then he turned to his girl, with a
smile.
“From all that I hear, you have
nothing to fear.
But if his standards aren't mine and
your mother's
Don't worry, my dear,” he said to
her, clear.
“He'll be buried out back with the
others!”
Oh my goodness, that's hilarious, I wouldn't want to get on his bad side, lol.
