throb story

there was a throbbing in his lower neck

there was a throbbing in her yearning heart

and so they got together/and ran in rainy weather/and shackled passion in a horse-drawn cart

..

her parents were aghast agape appalled

his parents had long fled this mortal coil

and so they fled the scene/and lived aloft serene/and made ends meet with kisses books and toil

..

we leave them near his deathbed decades hence

their daughter and their grandkids leave as asked

he says what gracious robbery/you gave with ardent throbbery/i throb with you my truest love u n m a s k d
