Janice Canerdy Poet Rhyme

Naive Lou and Clueless Cal

Naïve Lou
has no clue
about boys
and their toys.
She feels sure
she can lure
Cal away
ANY day
from old cars,
gaming wars,
casinos.
She just knows
he’ll prefer 
time with her!

Lou’s his gal.
Clueless Cal 
thinks she’ll be
frequently
there for him—
at his whim.
Facebook time 
will decline.
Girls’ nights out
will, no doubt,
not be ceased,
but decreased!

 *******
Should they wed
or instead
say “Good-bye”
with a sigh?

  ******

Well, these two
said, “I do”
years ago.
Blessings flow.
Compromise
shows how wise 
they have grown.
Each has shown
due respect,
no neglect.

Rico Leffanta September 9, 2020 at 11:32 AM Some people grow old together because they "have no other choice" and accept their "fate", but we all prefer hearing it is "LOVE"! Aloha! Rico Janice Canerdy September 9, 2020 at 1:19 PM Thanks so much, Rico. Janice
