The Necklace Revised

 

 

 

“The Necklace”

 

The Wind stopped blowing, the lights are all dimmed.
The music is playing, it's pretty slow for them.
Their shadow dances, off the wall.
You can hear the children laughing, playing, that's all.


Finally their night, to celebrate!
50 years gone by, they cut the cake.
He gives her a necklace, made just for her.
He turns to her, a coat made from fur.
