A fuzzy little monkey,
was sitting in his tree,
watching as the world passed by,
he sighed and said, 'Ah me,
This is such a big old tree,
For a monkey such as I.'
'That's true', said his Silverbird neighbour,
As past him she did fly.
Each day for many years,
They'd pass the time of day.
Then each to their own little homesteads
They'd go about their way.
But they liked each other's company,
and nearer and closer they grew.
And one day said the little monkey,
'Sweet Silverbird, hear me do
Come share my seat upon my tree
and let us watch the world go by.
For now's the time, I do believe
to be together, you and I.'
So as the joyful news breaks out
and congratulations ring,
they'll join their lives in married bliss
for all the future brings.

Love it. 
After all, there are a lot of poems which use the first line as a title, and then you get titles like "She was waiting for her mother at the station in Torino and you know I love you baby but it's getting too heavy to laugh" which is almost longer than the song that it's a title for
