Well It’s An Interesting Story...
If you are wondering how I appeared on this boat in the water,
Clearly wearing a dress meant for a much different setting,
Then it all begins with a necessary little fact,
That is that this story is certainly interesting.
I originally was going to a formal ball,
I was supposed to be entertaining those around,
Not as the guest of honor mind you,
But simply as one of the family members honor bound.
I had to attend, make no mistake,
My family would have killed me if I had skipped,
I would have been disowned and banished without a trace,
But they never said I couldn't leave early to give my toes a dip.
Those shoes are uncomfortable,
Much like the idle chatting and dancing,
With gossiping and judgement,
I much preferred walking barefoot in the woods and prancing.
As fate would have it I was caught on my run,
By none other than a famous bachelor and rich son.
Embarrasment hidden down deep I confronted the man,
And told him where he could shove it if he interrupted my fun.
Rather surprisingly he joined in,
And we both escaped society for a while,
But soon the sun was sailing across the sky,
And he had to return back inside with pretend guile.
Soon my family trying to find me a man noticed my absence,
And the subtle search for their plans began,
While I planned my complete escape,
Being watched by the amused man.
I found a rowboat nearby and quickly climbed on,
I beseeched the single man to not reveal my spot (my chastisty was at stake)
And he said for a kiss that would be fine,
When I blushed and hissed no, he pushed the boat onto the lake.
So that is how I got here onto this lake,
And how my brother caught a memorable picture of me,
But despite the trauma I am grateful the image was saved,
Since that was the day I met my future husband, Lee.
