Before you say "no",
let me tell you a story -
about a boy,
and a girl,
and a cat.
Truth is -
I don't really like cats,
so let's have instead -
a frog.
And a black magic hat.

"for my next magic trick -"
said the frog,
"I need 2 volunteers -
a boy and a girl!",
and the crowd
Was roaring with joy.

Then up to the stage,
From nowhere at all,
Walked a boy in a hood,
With a dark brown bow,
And whispers all over -
"but where is the girl?".

The frog took his hat off,
And flipped it around,
He swished it and pinched it,
And made some weird sounds,
When out of the hat,
Jumped a girl with a crown!
"the princess!", they shouted,
"what a pleasant surprise!".

"Please, my dear fellows",
asked the frog from the crowd,
"The show hasn't started,
PLEASE relax and sit down!".

The girl wasn't nervous,
And the boy played it cool,
But then their eyes met -
And in that very instant,
The frog gave the mark -
"Ba ba bam! Ba ba bam!"
And the whole world
Went
Silently
Dark.

One star started blinking,
And then a few more,
"Thank you all!",
said the frog,
With his hands held up high,
But the crowd,
Bewildered,
Understood not what for -
"but.. Where is the magic?",
they demanded to know.

"Relax my dear fellows!",
beseeched them the frog,
"RELAX and behold -
The greatest magic of all!"

The frog cleared the floor.
The stars all aligned.
And at the edge of the stage,
with their backs to the crowd,
sat the boy and the girl -
his hand resting on her lap.
Her head, on his shoulder.
Then their heads tilted back,
And all the worlds heard,
the most beautiful story,
which has ever been told -

The sounds
Of
Laughter-in-love
Between a boy
And a girl.
