Romance is not Dead
Your glass eye’s on the dresser
Your leg’s hung on the wall
Your hearing aids beside you
It’s no damn use at all
Your teeth are in the water glass
Smiling up at me
The same one’s I bought for you
In nineteen sixty three
Your face is a mass of wrinkles
Your tits have headed south
You’re snoring like a walrus
And dribbling at the mouth
But honey I still love you
Your faults to me are fine
So on this very special day
Please be my valentine!

Your tits have headed south
You’re snoring like a walrus

You wont get offended if I LMAOOO @ this ink, will you?! LMAOOOOOOOOOO! This is the funniest poem Ive read in a few years!
I want to apologize in advance if this was meant to be a serious love poem but it's funny as hell! I looked at your bio and noticed you like writing humorously.
*Going in my reading list* I have got to reference back to this poem when Im feeling down. xoxo

As usual you made my day with your humour...it brought back pictures from a book I read 50 years ago...just can't remember the name.
I don't where my ideas come from maybe I read the same book 50 years ago but hell I don't stop on the stairs these days in case I forget whether I was going up or down!! ;-)

Know the feeling...now I have remembered.
'Grapes of Wrath' extract below...
Yeah, that’s easy to say. Ain’t so easy to get a job not for a one-eye’ man.’
Tom turned on him. ‘Now look-a-here, fella. You got that eye wide open. An’ ya dirty, ya stink. Ya jus’ askin’ for it. Ya like it. Lets ya feel sorry for yaself. Course ya can’t get no woman with that empty eye flappin around. Put somepin over it an wash ya face. You ain’t hittin nobody with no pipe wrench.’
‘I tell ya, a one-eye fella got a hard row’ the man said. ‘Can’t see stuff the way other fellas can. Can’t tell how far off a thing is. Ever’things jus flat.’
Tom said, ‘Ya full a crap. Why, I knowed a one-legged whore one time. Think she was takin’ two bits in a alley? No, by God! She’s getting’ half a dollar extra. She says, “How many one-legged women you slep with?

Bloody brilliant mate thanks for sharing that I don't recall ever reading it before and The Grapes of Wrath is a classic but who knows?
I love that whore's attitude too it really cheered me up. I fell a couple of days ago and cracked two ribs so I needed something to smile abou! :-)

Oh Tides what can I say? I can remember stuff that happened when I was three years old but I couldn't tell you what I had for supper last night!
Anyway I've taken the sting out of my accident by writing about it it's called Spring in The Air!
Luv & hugz :-)
