My Funny Valentine

He wanted to wear socks to bed
"That's never an option," I said
Not appealing for sex
Nearly became my ex
Chance for romance would've been dead

Lin, I love poetry that makes me laugh, and this certainly does. All the funny quirks we have seem to appear this month. Of course, are there other ways to knock the socks off someone? Smiles!!!

HA at your knocking the socks off! That's one way of removing them. Thanks, Duke.

Dear Lin, you made me laugh. You’ve got a gift for taking a tiny domestic moment, socks in bed, of all things, and turning it into a whole comic near-tragedy of romance. It’s sharp, quick, and very you. Winter Blessings, Lin, Daniel

Thanks for laughing with me, Daniel. It's better than laughing at me, but I'll take the words, 'sharp' and 'quick' as compliments any day. Skin to skin... no socks. They turn me off in bed.
