First Love and a Wee Little Man

It started out as just a lark Just a flirtation in the park But suddenly we'd lit a spark Enough to make the doggies bark We were like runners on their mark And on a search for that lost ark We'd not be hampered by the dark Desire was high, the need was stark It would only take one remark Then loud and clear came the call, "Hark!" We looked together through thick trees And I saw her eyes roll ,"Oh, please" There came a small one with patched knees One of the Irish we call "Wees" He'd been running hard hence his wheeze That created a sort of breeze "Why are you here? Is it to please?" "Nay, but to save you from the 'Threes' A union here before first freeze Gives birth to one he and two shes" Who would not laugh at such a joke But the Wee one looked near to stroke He huffed and swelled ready to croak We laid him in shade on my cloak He looked so sad, that little bloke Like a fried egg without a yoke As usual for the wee folk And so we left him there to soak Then prayed aloud he would not choke And rest awhile until he woke The spark was gone we gave a sigh Thought of love and we wondered why That little man was passing by And interrupted, my oh my What was to be our own first try A time to recall that first lie That sparked the love when we were shy And remember until we die But we had other eggs to fry We could but laugh and just say "Aye" We lived our lives and bit the shark That turned our paths in such an arc And laughed about that piece of cheese Who kept us from a little sleaze A time we lived though we were broke And saved our love for that first poke Our happiness can make me cry But then I laugh till they're dry Bless the Wee one's heart and bless me I would have died if I'd birthed three 10-9-19 Contest:Ludix-Rym Sponsor: Lu Loo
