Once upon a Monday dreary, while in training, tired and bleary, Learning all about the wonders PwC would hold in store— On that day in Silicon Valley, suddenly I spotted Alli, Sitting in that room in Cali, someone I would soon adore. “She’s from Denver,” I thought, dismayed, “We’ll have a friendship I adore.” Only friends, and nothing more. Ah, distinctly I remember some months later, in December; I’d been grinding since September, busy season I abhorred. My resolve was slowly fading, audit work felt so degrading, Sense of hopelessness pervading, I needed comfort, to be sure. So on Sametime I pinged Alli, she’s a true friend, to be sure. Still just friends, and nothing more. Through that digital medium our talking eased the tedium, We staved off the delirium, work no longer seemed a chore. We were now messaging daily, I helped her choose her dog Bailey, Soon enough a thought assailed me, “I feel different than before.” “We live one thousand miles apart, surely that’s been done before?” Merely friends, for evermore?

Busy season, though a bummer, soon passed by, spring turned to summer, The time had come again at last for training just like before. Then, upon my chair elated, it seemed at last our love was fated, The firm had just then dictated, we’d train together, an encore. Our digital relationship got a corporeal encore. It was time for something more. Then when we were reunited, a spark quickly was ignited, The whole week we spent together made it clear what was in store. Right after Alli departed we immediately charted Out reunions, then we started travelling often, back and forth. With each time we were together, more emotions would spring forth. The distance stung, more and more. Through her counsel I concluded, the decision undisputed, I’d no longer be deluded, audit work was but a chore. The Midwest it was a-calling, it was time to stop the stalling, Though some folks find it appalling, I’d be a lawyer. But ignore That we were still long-distance? This I never could ignore. It drove me crazy, more and more.

Though no surprise, I soon found just how lucky I was I wound Up with Alli, I was spellbound, she’d soon show selflessness galore. She proposed we go together to a state of snowy weather, We’d be two birds of a feather, man did I sure ever score. She’d give up everything she knew, I certainly did truly score. No long-distance, nevermore! Life together was amazing, love continuously raising Soon enough I was appraising what the future held in store. With her help, I conquered law school, secured a job, I’d be a fool If I didn’t lock this lovely lady down. I’d soon ask for This gorgeous girl’s hand in marriage, what more could a man ask for? I wanted her forevermore. So in the hot Egyptian sands, I brought with me a diamond band Stuffed in my satchel, close at hand, I sweat from every last pore. In this land of Luxor we stopped at the perfect Insta backdrop At the twin Collosi I dropped to one knee, to her I swore I’d love her longer than these statues stood, then we both swore We’d be soulmates, forevermore!
