"Can you,
Show me paradise?"
She asked
With a kitten grin.
I can't promise that
He stammered honestly,
Then added quickly,
(Hopefully),
But I do
Have a two-for-one
Arby's coupon.

For a moment
Her smile disappeared.
Then,
Throwing her arms
Outwards and upwards
(Knocking over his
Pabst from the
Bedside table)
She yelped -
That'll do it!
(Collapsing in
Day-glo orange cheese
Laughter).

Author's Note: Ahhhh, young love. A Red Lobster coupon would have been overkill.
