a surprise would be a pleasant act of love

Jaime spent the whole day browsing the antique store

and left with just one thing clear yet, but what a bore

had designs of getting an antique bed a matching double

considering time spent loafing around was plain trouble

a surprise would be a pleasant act of love and affections

in passing had playfully voiced to her of his intentions

painfully it took a toll on his time and efforts to acquire

wore off his manly frame oak strong but doomed to failure

just the beginning and he was not expected to succumb easily

but interested parties were putting him under close scrutiny

she felt comfortable though not being aware of any flaw 

but not so her stern father, his prospective father-in-law
