I shouldn't really tell you this
But relationships are best if you kiss
I walked home from school each day
With this sweet girl whose name was Kay
I bet you think I kissed her lips then
Oh by the way my name is Ken
I found that I could always steal a kiss
When I decided on an artifice
Took her to the town's park at first
To satisfy our romantic thirst
Okay, we were tardy getting home
Just told her Ma round shops we did roam
We did stay friends for a few years
But chose new partners without tears

Ah yes, always lovely to begin with a kiss. I'm glad to tell you my new companion is accepting hugs and kisses.
ReplyDeleteI liked the bit, "satisfy our romantic thirst." What age are your characters here? I think romantics comes in degrees, I like the old "We got married in a fever song" so I suppose their being hotter than a pepper sprout would be pretty thirsty.

I like the way you hooked me with the opening lines, Robin, and the way you wrote in couplets, giving your poem a jaunty tone.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could manage well in a relationship where kissing didn't happen often.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about kisses from ‘Ken’s’ perspective ~ it felt fresh and so sweet. You are right about the Pandemic, we are beginning to see cases rising in the US as many folks are not taking proper precautions.
