Chris Green Poet Rhyme

It Don'T Really Matter

It don’t really matter   

If Plaster of Paris is not made in France
If Ginger and Fred never learned how to dance
If shoestring potatoes don’t grow in a shoe
It don’t really matter because I love you

If airports have doorways but call them a gate
If calories will never cause us to wait
If moisture each morning is something that’s due
It don’t really matter because I love you

If hamburgers aren’t really made out of ham
If jelly won't work to get out of a jam
If something that’s old becomes something we knew
It don’t really matter because I love you

If plants that are planted are still called a plant
If uncles get sad when they step on an ant
If skies that are happy do always seem blue
It don’t really matter because I love you

If doors that are open are really ajar
If milkshakes aren’t served on a sweet chocolate bar
If vegetable soup is not really a stew
It don’t really matter because I love you

If kings in a downpour get caught in the reign
If birds lifting boulders are not called a crane
If flying the coop came from chickens that flew
It don’t really matter because I love you

Grammatically speaking, my title is wrong
And maybe this poem goes on a bit long 
But who cares as long as you know it is true
The one thing that matters, is that I love you

Darren White April 18, 2017 at 12:04 AM It don't really matter if you win or lose, if you end last, if you lose your shoes. If you write more music than words on a screen, if I mail you more than you've ever seen. What matters is beauty, in word and in mind, and a spirit so warm and forever kind. And that you possess in spades my dear friend. And rhyming you can! May that never end. :) Chris Green April 18, 2017 at 8:17 AM Thanks so very much my friend for always filling the comment space beneath my poems with such kindness and overwhelming encouragement. I appreciate you Darren
