Poetry Not By Me.

Love's the boy stood on the burning deck
trying to recite "The boy stood on
the burning deck." Love's the son
stood stammering elocution
while the poor ship in flames went down.

Love's the obstinate boy, the ship,
even the swimming sailors, who
would like a schoolboy platform, too,
or an excuse to stay

Oh, they were totally breaking in half before you even said anything. That's one of the joys of pink heartshaped cookies. The ones at work disappeared within an hour.
