I am often told
that finance and romance
don’t mix.
 
That an accountant,
a boring bean-counter like me,
can’t feel affection.
 
But I’ll have to dispel
that misconception,
once and for all.
 
As I examine the books
of my prospective client,
we exchange looks.
 
She is a brunette,
attractive and slender
and we sit à tête-a-tête.
 
A song on the radio,
Love me tender,
is full of emotion.
 
This romantic air
is poetry in motion
and I am beguiled.
 
Like Elvis sang.
I realise I don’t have
a wooden heart.

I can picture the scene.

Thanks for letting me know that you envisage the tableau, Helen. It makes one's effort worthwhile.

Hello Luigi.   May I suggest the speaker in the Houses of Parliament sing out to all the MP's  that have wooden hearts.  I'm sure your client would approve.

Worth a try I suppose, torscot, but I think that not even Elvis could soften their hearts.

Cheers, Luigi.
