Lost Love

Love is like an alarm clock
Just when you think all is set
she cheats and then wants to buzz 
Off goes the first ring  









For John Freemans competition Love or Humhour

Deirdre, this is great fun, well done and congrats on your win. I read your piece on the Tramore Tales poetry book, it is wonderful. My Gr. Grandfather on the paternal side was an RIC man based in Queen Street. Small world eh!
