"Defending Us"

To what lengths will a man go to guard his gem.

"As I'm holding her tight"

"I'm thinking about her plight"

"How can I resolve her fight"

"Without damaging her precious light"

"In the night we encountered a crook"

"one that wielded a mighty hook"

"when he saw my will he was shook"

"then he turned away after my menacing look"

"When my wife awoke"

"I soothed her body with a gentle stroke"

"She asked how our bookcase broke"

"Then she calmly listened to the tale I spoke"
