Last Call For Flight 62

Today I won the lottery,
a million bucks should set me free,
I've booked two tickets rather quick
the place is to go is Reykjavik.

What worries me is pretty dumb,
I can't be sure that she will come,
perhaps the news of frozen tears
and numbness spreading through the ears
will be enough to make her think
so I will send her a quick link
in which they celebrate their Spring,
where caged canaries dance and sing,
where ice lost its monopoly,
young maidens forming a parade
and grandpas sipping lemonade.

The link, now sent, I hurry folks,
and say to all like-minded blokes
it's prayer that may turn the tide,
for only God can make a bride.

I'll hang about the church a bit,
and wait to get a text, to wit,
and if she's set to join me soon
I'll point my eyes up to the Moon
and then, and only then I will
take out a heavy duty bill
and pay for services received,
it's something good He'll have achieved.

And, may I add, it is of right,
and I'd fly higher than a kite.
Check-in will test the stoutest nerves
but, heck, if memory still serves,
all this is worth it to be sure,
and for uncertainty the cure.
