A likable guy for whom all are proud
Very well mannered full of humour
Well dressed not outwardly loud
Ideally suitable as his daughter's partner

She was lauded for landing a big fish
Mommy all agog right from day one
Fitted the bill to a tee for everyone's wish
Waiting for the big day to rightly come

Dad making preparations all in earnest
Amidst all the enthusiasm it came to a stop
Dashed hopes smacked at his girl's happiness
On discovering he was a convicted drug lord
