Dry Ice - A Limerick Penned on Engagement's End

Sometimes life simply isn't as rock solid as one might suppose.

Dry Ice
(A Limerick Penned on Engagement’s End)

Her jewelry faded in her hand;
‘Twas crafted in a foreign land.
When he proposed,
‘Ere she supposed,
Engagement wasn’t all she’d planned.
