for the love of George

Once there was a girl

Who fell in love with a boulder
The moment she laid eyes on it
She was love struck and more over

And so every where she went
She took the mineral with her
George the boulder, was perfect
Her tough and silent lover

Many a moments they shared
In beautiful silent perfection
But all changed when one romantic day
She decided to pop the question

On a rowboat the two sailed
Gently down a peaceful river
She swallowed hard and braced herself
Nerves shaking, she began to stutter

"Dearest love, you are the one.
I can love no other but you.
Will you marry me
and make me happiest true?"

She waited and waited and waited
But there never came a reply
Only sounds of birds chirping
And fishes swimming by

She got mad and threw poor George
OFF the boat and down it went
But still not a peep from the rock
As it made the long wet descent

Immediately after, she was wracked with regret
And soon jumped after her rocky lover
But she struggled with its terrible weight
And alas, they went to their watery doom together

THE END.
