Delightful Defense

DELIGHTFUL DEFENSE

my girl talked too much
so I kissed her ruby lips
the silence was grand

………………………………………………
This Haiku was inspired by the great old, depression-day, chuckle – “She wouldn’t kiss me in 
the canoe, so I paddled her back.”

Yoie, maybe she didn't wish to tip the canoe and swim to shore, Daver? A "DELIGHTFUL" write on "DEFENSE". You'd be a champion in Martial Arts.:) Wishing you the best!! Mikki

I hadn't heard that old saying, Daver, but I sure got a chuckle out of it as well as your haiku! Very funny. Love, Carolyn

Enjoyed your work..Got a chuckle..Would a young man consider her for his bride if she talked too much?..Your presence at my work was thought provoking..The school where I attended first grade is know a an apppartment complex for senior citizens..It was a three story building but one was basement..My high school is now a government complex...Sara

Little learning is a dangerous thing Too much learning unwanted thing. In my school days I used to read this, I don't know who wrote it. Thanks for the comments, daver
