How long now since first we met
Do you remember?
I cannot even pin it to a date
Was it October?

Some said you were too plump for me
Like an elephant?
Some others said "Just let them be,
Isn't she elegant?"

People even mocked at my economy
"Won't she be extravagant?"
Others called it life's antinomy
Could it be an alterant?

But life's not just butter and bread
Have we ever sorrowed?
Now I'm glad t'was my heart that led
Have I not followed

In times like this what is best to do
Have you considered?
For I plan to swim or sink with you
Or should it be splattered
