Notes About The Poem

It Ended With a Kiss

It Ended With A Kiss
Marie, an oldie who'd never been kissed Longed for the feeling of kissing on lips One day she went selling kisses for free Men were put off for Marie was gummy She'd lost her teeth guzzling too many sweets Then had regretted indulging in treats. Suddenly a cool, handsome guy passed by The oldie gave him a wink from her eye He knew what she wanted and came up trumps Gave her a kiss and found Marie stunk He was disgusted and said she should pay She paid happily as he'd made her day. The dear sweet Marie has since passed away This is what her epitaph has to say "Here lies a woman merrily at rest Her last day on earth was simply the best That day she’d known the magic of a kiss Twas worth every penny of fifty quid."

WoW! Belle, I enjoyed this story from start to finish. It’s sad she lived her whole life without being kissed. I’m glad she one in the end. Well done. Have a nice day:-) Alexis

She's lucky. I would not have touched her before she a bath.

They say you can't take it with you, so at least she got to spend it on fulfilling her final wish. Fun story telling, Belle ~ John

Yes, we should do our best to not make someone unhappy. However...don't think I'd have kissed Marie on the lips. A hug maybe?

Ha, neither would I Ann, at least Marie got to kiss a guy afore she flew to that beautiful place beyond the sky… Thank you, Belle
