Le Cordon Bleu


1 part passion
1 part truth
1 part lies
	No, that can’t be. 
        Is it 2 parts truth and no lies?
Yeah right!  This isn’t a fairy tale.
Maybe it’s snips and snails- 
	Wait that’s little boys.
Walks on the beach?
	      Candles?
		 Sweet nothings?
                              Sex?
        Hmmm,
        let me ponder the last one
        for a little while…

Will I recognize the recipe
for love when I see it?

Or is it the trial and error
of mixing your own ingredients
that makes it taste so good?
