Image: Set for the Occasion (here)
The 10 given words:
enjoy candle dinner week song
live money late pray rise
They enjoyed candle-light dinner for this week
How very romantic it was
Reminiscent of courting days before
when they were younger
How he had even picked the occasions
to throw a surprise on her
How they laughed in between songs
in the posh restaurant
They were oblivious of the crowd
who even clapped and wished them well
when told it was their anniversary
This time there was no crowd
Just the two them
to enjoy the candle-light dinner
at home
They had to live with it
Repairs to the car took a chunk of their money
They were late in payments for their utilities
They prayed it would not happen again
Otherwise it would be candle-light dinner
when supplies were disconnected
for non-payment
They would have to rise
to the occasion in future
