Dear Mother

source
I know this was not in your plan
and I know that it's not what you hoped
but I met the most interesting man
and I must tell you that we've eloped!

I never had met him before
I saw him; my heart skipped a beat
Felt passion clear down to my core
He swept me right off of my feet!

He spoke to me nary a sound
but his feelings were easy to see
With a courtyard of people around
I knew he had his eye on me!

In dress he leans toward the eccentric
His hair often in disarray
but his nails are quite sharply authentic
for opening letters and prey.

He may come off as slightly gruff
and lacking in manners and tact
but to me, he's a prince in the rough
The beauty contained in the act.

So mother, please do say a prayer
for your daughter who's now a new wife
I've left for his underground lair
to begin my fantastical life!
