Of Many and My Best Two Loves

So many loves throughout my life I’ve had.
In days of youth, I spent a lot of time
with lovely books; they made me feel so glad.
Back then I didn’t even write a rhyme!

With food I’ve also had a love affair.
In fact, it’s lasted all my life, but I
have had to treat my lust for it with care.
My time with it I’ve had to modify!

I’ve had a psuedo-love for working out
or any type of labor for that matter.
To feign love sometimes – that’s what it’s about
to get through life, while dreams sometimes shatter.

But poetry’s a best and constant love
since first I started my affair with it.
Another love have I, and lots of
time I use for it when my hours permit

This other passion I can greet each day.
I’ve loved it since childhood with all my might.
I revel in it at the matinee
or stay up loving it till late at night.

An addict to great TV shows and to
great movies, I am so enamored that
reviews of movies every week I do.
No threesome though with food - or I’ll grow fat!

yes, it is indeed an overview of my life's interests. I only would need to get my family and friends into it somehow and the picture is complete
