For "PromptMaster !" 

The thing that started the rumor
Was his lack of a sense of humor.
All she said was 'marriage might be nice'
and he turned cold as ice.

She was just sort of supposing
But he thought she was proposing!
In his cousin he did confide
He didn't want to make her his bride!

But he'd chosen the wrong confidant
Because the guy did make a chant
"Mridul and Sapna sitting on a tree
K - I - S - S - I - N - G"

Soon, the whole campus knew
Mridul and Sapna, could it be true?
"We saw him at the jeweler
Must've been choosing a ring for her"

"Was he with her at the rock concert?
She was at Park Avenue, buying a shirt.
Must've been a gift for her groom."
(Who thought this was the bell of doom!)

So the whispers reached his parents
Who at once summoned their heir apparent.
"What's this we hear of you and a girl?
Are you giving romance a whirl?"

"There's nothing ..." he started to say
But they didn't listen anyway.
"We've fixed a meeting with her Mom and Dad
Oh, son, we are so glad."

Mom, Dad, Daughter came to dinner
And by midnight, everyone was a winner.
Mridul thought Sapna was really great
She'd make him a jolly good mate.

Sapna, to tell the truth,
Got quite fond of the tongue-tied youth.
So, though the rumor couldn't be dafter
It ended in Happily Ever After!
