“
Sally and Ben
Ben was kinda rough around the edges,
But Sally didn't care.
He came without promises or pledges,
But at least he was there.
She'd loved many men in her time, and yet
None had treated her well.
Would Ben turn out to be a better bet?
Well, only time would tell.
Three things in Ben's favour: he neither drank,
Nor smoked, nor chased women.
So for those things alone Sally could thank
Her lucky stars. Amen!
Much more than that, Ben sure was a cute one;
Sal saw that from the start.
She loved him like he was her only son;
Yes, that kitten stole her heart!
