A Different Mickey and Minnie

Mickey and Minnie were lovers Not ones you're thinking about, my friends Mickey Swartz and Minnie O'Malley A pairing they had to defend Got married just a little while ago To the dismay of the people they knew From a couple of totally different cultures Had the blessings of only a few Why does it matter and create such a furor Isn't the most important thing love Love conquers all, that's what matters most Other judgements, we should rise above Aware this is quite a controversial subject Not everyone agrees with my stance What I say is “live and let live” No matter how we put on their pants We're all apart of the HUMAN race Though we don't all use the same tongue Please give Mickey and Minnie your blessing No matter what background they're from © Jack Ellison 2013

this poem is true and to the heart. you captured the meaning of what love should be. Who we see in our hearts, not who others see on the outside or inside. great job.

"We're all apart of the HUMAN race" This gets lost in the turmoil we are constantly being bombarded with every day!

Congratulations Micky and Minnie... Not just Humans... Also Dragons, Trolls, penguins... and miscelaneous forest folk... Not to mention Troll Lake Town! ... Tho the Mary River Turtles don't wear pants... More like swimming trunks... And the penguins have to use suspenders. They're sooo cute!... But Dragons have to be fire proof...LOL

Hmmm... penguins in suspenders! Wouldn't that be a great image for your cover? A while ago, I put together a number of my poems in an attempt get a publisher to buy into it. It was entitled, "If Beavers Wore Pants!" Didn't go anywhere! Good luck with yours... are you going to self publish? Say hello to your gang... warm hugs, Jack xoxox
