Whatever happened to roses are red?

Whatever happened to violets are blue?

Whatever happened to lame poetry

That basically said “I love you”?


Now it’s all complex and emotional

Poetry surely has changed quite a bit

Personally, I don’t like free verse much

I like lame-o rhymes and their fit.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
