she was a nice girl
a shy girl
who wouldn't break the rules
if they were fences
and she was fenced in
mama raised her baby not to sin
he was a bold boy
a cold boy
liked the things he couldn't have
made him mad when he felt denied
oh how his mama cried
but she loved him
loved him just the same
he saw her at school
she thought he was cool
even though trouble was his middle name
he knew her reputation
liked a challenge thought she'd be fair game
and he didn't like to lose
no he didn't like to lose
she had a smile
wide as a mile
she wasn't beautiful
but she sure was cute
he was heartbreak handsome
and man, he knew it
most of the girls he dated
couldn't get through it
and he always got his way
yeah he always got his way
but she was a nice girl
a smart girl
she played by the rules
he never had a chance
fell in love with her
the first time they danced
and when they got married
it was gonna last!
Please tell me what you think

This seems like a song. Is it? It should be.I hope they have a happy ending.Cute is always better than beautiful in my estimation. Beauty fades but cute lasts forever.

I have seen this story more than once in my life time and this was really good I love the repeat lines they are used effectively in thie poem Well done and good luck with this

Well written-the merging of two so different in the marriage bed, not before. She and living by the rules did win. Nicely done.

Thanks! It was for a contest and written to the music of the song prompt. A pretty cool song actually. Never heard it before. I went in another direction though!
