The Amusement Park of Your Love

 

 

I paid my admission fair and square

Never knowing you would be there

With ticket clutched in my strong hand

Saw your face, my feet turned quickly to sand.

 

I knew your eyes would be the ride of my life

Even having survived so much strife

But when your lips bowed in gesture sublime

I only hoped I would not run out of time.

 

For amusement park rides are notoriously scary

My chartered map of you was not for the unwary

But I wish to stake my life on this decree

I must tell you -- I love only thee.

 

There is certainly more to this story

Our amusement park not mere allegory

It is a time of dance and celebration

I will kiss thee with much more elaboration.

 

So we come to the end of this line,

But for us it is the beginning of all time.

And although I think they came out fine

It is not at all easy to make these words rhyme.
