She caught my eye from across the bar
her skin was as white as pure snow
I offered to buy her a drink
but she gave me the cold shoulder
Eventually she warmed up to me
and so we headed back to my place
she seemed to respond to my touch
her thawing had begun at last
As we got in through the door
she fell into me
and melted into my arms
the process carried on from there
leaving a huge puddle on the floor
Unfortunately she is no more
all traces of her have disappeared
at least I have learned my lesson
hopefully that will be the last time
I ever try to date an ice queen
