Tangerine

A boy with a girl came in tonight

To dodge the December Cold.

He proposed she pick a treat to eat

So she picked one as she was told.

A dime was all it cost you see

But he paid with so much more.

Up on the counter he produced a nickel

And a big round juicy orb.

I looked into his eyes and witnessed payment along with plea.

Right then I did see Love--in the form of a tangerine.

A boy with a girl came in tonight

To dodge the December Cold.
