Ode to Chrissie

O' one night suitor have no guilt;

You did not know what lies beneath

Your strength was no match

For the ultimate catch

That not even Quint could snatch;

Mrs. Kinter have no fear;

For I have Alex near

And we go down to the pond to chase blue gills and tommycots,

There are no forget-me-nots needed for you;

At first I asked the beast "Why did you take me, I was only 23!"

To which he replied, "Chrissie, that's a long time for a swimmer in MY vicinity!"
