An Anti-Love Poem

Seems love's a very good topic for a poem
People know the subject really well
We all have separate thoughts about love
Those that are obsessed, you can tell

Women as they age can take-it-or-leave-it
With men, it's a real different ball game
From puberty to the age of a centenarian
Their loins are constantly aflame

So how do we solve this obvious disparity
This age old problem that exists
The only time it gets to be a real problem
Is when she says no and he insists

Arguments ensue and nothing gets solved
Both go to sleep feeling angry
We must understand the needs of the other
Been going on for centuries, frankly

This is not exactly your typical love poem
An anti-love poem so to speak
It will never be like a fairy tale happening
But it still can bring you to the peak

Carol Eastman November 25, 2013 at 1:03 PM True love at my house is: who gets up at the break of dawn to feed Dragon, the penguins, puppies, and kitties... their breakfast... The other stuff works it way out on it's own... Whoever lets the other sleep in... solves a lot of that, too... As in whoever does that for the other... truely deserves a big kiss... Great motivation...Er... To Say...LOL Jack Ellison November 25, 2013 at 4:29 PM Same here in our house... all us guys know hoe it works eh!!! xoxoxox

Poet Tacito November 25, 2013 at 11:04 AM The sad part is, many still insist love should BE a fairy tale. How lonely & unsatisfied those hearts will always be. The 3rd stanza is the most spot on thing I've read about love yet. Very, very well done... Jack Ellison November 25, 2013 at 11:08 AM Coming from you, Drake, this is such a great compliment! Thanks ever so much, my good friend!!!!!!
