A Proposal (1996 version)

If roses are red and violets are blue,
Then till the end of time I'll love you.
But roses are red only in seasons of love,
And so my love may end but my promise will stay true.

They say meeting is joy and parting is pain,
The world is round we'll meet again.
But meeting & parting after a time leave you the same,
And you realize dating & dumping are all in the game.

Surely pearls are precious but diamonds are colossal,
If you love me accept my proposal.
But pearls and diamonds are all dust to the saint,
And your loving me is a fantasy quaint;

So forget the proposal that I'll never make you,
And come quietly on a blind date with Mr. Rendezvous!
