Still, we walked by the river
One bow and one quiver,
One taker, one giver,
We skirted the bushes
And trod on the rushes
And by-passed the blushes
They were always in vain.
She said “it’s not easy,
Dry bread isn’t greasy
Will you pick me a daisy?
Of yellow and white.
“Sure I’ll pick you a flower
It has little power
Might make you go sour
When the moon calls the night”.
She said “you’re still a stranger
And maybe a danger,
You weren’t born in a manger
This might be a line”
I said “there’s a fair chance
This could be a merry dance
Masquerading as sweet romance
Described as divine”
She said “I need time out
For I’m still in major doubt”,
As she curled her pink pout
Said “betwixt and between”,
“I know I’m the chooser,
But also the loser,
You could be a cruiser
That’s plain to be seen”
I said “let’s begin it
There are two of us in it
Can we have half a minute?
To be right or be wrong”
And I wonder what she saw,
The skylark or jackdaw,
