LOVE ?
What is love you ask of me?
well let me think and let me see
when such answer by you is sought
it requires study and thought
I've been in love a long, long time
so long it is almost a crime
with my ever child like bride
my love for her I can not hide
Some poets say love is a curse
and others that it's even worse
I've heard it described as a light
illuminating, shining bright
Love is this and love is that
words tossed like a flitting bat
love is like a fine wine savored
or sweet as any candy flavored
So let me turn my eyes above
and try my best to define love
in a plain and simple way
which in your young heart might stay
So listen and pay close attention
to an old man's definition
which from me to you is imparted
It's not having to say you're sorry when you farted

Something smells,
Something smells rotten with this definition of love but i can't put my finger on it. Great poem as per usual. Regards Roscoe..

lol
Kind of a paraphrase of the definition given in the old Ryan Oneal movie "Love Story" where Ali MacGraw said love means never having to say you're sorry...................scribbleer

Your experience
Your Lovely experience
Speaks for you
Loud and clear
The trumpeters also
Can you loudly hear?

Humour increases love
All through life’s way,

In some lives
Love has lost its way...

LOVE ...
I never get tired of this topic, its such a sweet one with many points of view.My idea of love is that it can be both a curse and a blessing, its a curse when only one feels it, and it is a blessing when both share it.I agree with the mens POV, lol.I think the womans would be that if they farted they still hide it and get embarrassed when caught.Big laughs for me all the way around, lol.Fun write, I enjoyed it.
