Wood you marry me?
I love you can't you see?
I hope you will agree
So please, please, please,
Marry me...
They say it's no good
Because you're made of wood
For me it's understood
So please, please, please,
Marry me...
Ventriloquist's
Wooden dummy
You give me fits
Please marry me!
Please take my hand
Together we can stand
Our life will be so grand
So please, please, please,
Marry me...
I'll have your back
You by my side
It's just like that
Please be my bride!
Life will be complete
My mouth closed when you speak
Our future bright not bleak
So please, please, please,
Marry me...
1-19-2019 - Poetry form: Light Verse - The Beatles tune I had in mind when I wrote this poem is "Love Me Do." FYI- In case you haven't yet figured it out, the first word "Wood" is an intentional pun. This poem is loosely based on "And So Died Riabouchinska," broadcast in 1956 as the twentieth episode of the first season of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It's based on a Ray Bradbury story, and starred Claude Raines and a young Charles Bronson. And, of course, we can't forget Riabouchinska. She's a doll ;) Actually, she's a ventriloquist's dummy that Claude Raines falls in love with. Yikes! - Copyright © Mark Toney | Year Posted 2019
