It was his only chance
He rushed towards the door
Impulse was his weakness
Thus he tripped onto the floor
Knowing who was knocking
He wanted to make an impression
Little did he realise he was bound
By a wheelchair and a confession
He picked himself up to get the door
To her surprise, this day she found
His confession was constrained
By her sentimental sound
With wails and tears she empathised
As her lover succumbed to the chair
A little girl tugged at her dress
And asked, “Is this man Daddy?” in despair.
