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
