The Kite

John set the tail of the kite on fire
and then ran as fast as he could,
getting it high up in the sky.

Then using all of his considerable skill,
he spelled out "Will You Marry Me"
by maneuvering the kite around
like a stunt pilot on parade.

The proposal went down in flames

But she said yes.
