Good Breeding

by Rick Rucker

Has love always been?
And if not, when
Did it come to be,
Was it just recently?

Maybe better if  I'd seek
Why it makes our knees so weak.
Is it merely our vanity,
That causes this insanity?

Is it necessary for mankind
To become dumb and blind
Disregarding not only nationality,
But seemingly all rationality!

Would we not stay together
Were it not for the tether
Of the death that lets us live
The curse that can take, and give!

If you had a choice,
Would say “Yes,” and rejoice,
Or maybe grumble “Nay,”
Quickly turn, and run away?

Perhaps it is a matter
If a man, then the latter?
Women must be more committed,
Men can be so “nitwitted.”

If we waited to have men
Decide to want kids, then
We would cease to be a nation,
Gone in a generation.

Guys all think it won't be tidy
When they have to change a “didy.”
Forgetting that theirs were changed,
History is re-arranged

Perhaps for love there was a need,
So that men would heed
Their feelings for women, forgetting heirs,
So that they will stay as pairs.

Love may yet save the planet,
Too bad that we can't can it,
Without love, the man's creed:
Don't stay long, and do not breed!

Love can make that obsolete,
Love can make him a partner sweet,
Love can show it's not too bad,
To be addressed as “Dad.”
