Notes About The Poem

In life, I guess we never know when or whom our last kisses will be with. I've twice been married and twice been divorced (lol). A friend of mine's grandmother 93 years old believe it or not, she just started dating a man her age...ya just never know...xoxo

One Hundred and One Lips

I must have kissed one hundred lips 
before I wed my wife
I guess I was a lucky guy 
to live this extraordinary life
 
When I try to think 'bout all those girls 
So many cross my mind 
I can't believe it took me so long 
for that perfect one to find
 
A Gigolo, no...that wasn't me 
I just wanted to try a taste 
Most those kisses I was young 
Knew I had time to waste
 
There were a couple that I have dated 
For just a week or two 
I might have even forgotten some
Heck, one might have just been- you (lol)
 
Yes, I lived a wonderful life 
But my "new" kissing days are done 
The last kiss I'll taste is from my wife 
Damn, she makes 1-0-1
