First Love

First Love A man remembers his first love. Until he finds his grave. If he lives to be a hundred. That's what he'll always crave. For some it might be a blonde. A red head or brunette. Others are still looking. They haven't found it yet. For some it is those buns of steel. We've all heard about. Whatever a mans first love is. He hates to go without. There may be some who's first love. Is in the color of her eyes. I'll always remember my first love. A greasy cheese burger and fries. Make it a double patty. With everything on top. Ketchup, mustard, or special sauce. Please don't ever stop. Fries fried to a golden brown. Thin and crispy too. A greasy cheese burger with some fries. No talking til I'm through. So now you know my secret. A greasy cheeseburger and fries. If you want inside my heart. Make mine super size. Edwin C Hofert

Edwin, really had me wondering what your "First Love" was. You have a unique way of surprising a reader of your poems.

What a great write! Took a very funny direction at the end. Made me smile. Truly the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

A fun light hearted ballad. There appear to be some fragments. The first two lines should be combined, just drop the period after "love." Keep writing and having fun.
