A Love Story

This is a story of love.

The story of a dove.

She made her home on our porch fan.

And won't leave, despite heroic efforts by Dan.

For Mrs. Dove, as she has been named,

lives a life of what we have blamed,

As a woman of the night.

Oh yes, a woman of the night.

For Mrs. Dove, you see,

Has gentleman callers a-plenty.

She doesn't learn, that one

That her actions cause a bun (in the oven).

And so she sits on her eggs

Until they hatch and find their legs (or wings).

And then she does it all again,

She takes a visit from one of her "men".

So the cycle repeats,

Because gentleman callers she greets,

As a woman of the night.

Oh yes, a woman of the night.
