/// The whole clan had reacted with joy.
Daughter pals with the town’s richest boy!
Though she’s barely teen-aged,

/// Some time passed and she now dates her honey.
Daughter loves that he’s handsome and funny.
He’s polite, treats her nice,
but her father’s advice:
“Reel him in now, we can’t lose his money.”
/// On A Turbulent Engagement Day,

but she’s NOT in a family way.
