The Shrew and The Walrus

OK silly period ends; I'm shrew with it!

A shrew and a walrus took a trip to the coast

for that wily mammal knew she loved it the most,

to stand on the sand, fresh salty breeze on her snout

the warmth of the sun, to the sea looking out.

 

So they took a romantic stroll on the dunes

while he sang her all his known love tunes.

The sun started setting, the moon on the rise

as sparkling stars filled those heavenly skies.

 

He bent on one flipper and took out a ring

and offered to her life devotion to bring.

She looked up at his smile, his whiskers so prim

and told him she would be proud to be married to him.

 

He thought she looked peckish and needed to eat

so they walked to a cafe on the next street,

then he stopped and he stared deep into her eyes

and asked if she wanted potatoes or fries!

This is super adorable. The potatoes and fries part at the end is extra cute but unfortunately giving me cravings that I cannot give into due to my gestational diabetes. Lovely song too

Thanks Kari, glad you enjoyed my excursion into nonsense poetry. Oh and that Shrew!
