Pseudo Love

How do you define what is “true love”?
Is this the person you’re thinking of?
She clings like a parasite,
during both day and night.
She’s someone you want to get rid of.

At first, she was as sweet as honey.
Now, she’s only after your money.
Your ultimate goal
is to drop her in a hole.
Some place where it isn’t too sunny.

My big congratulations, Robert on your big win in Skat's contest, " Define Love ". I love your honesty. Some women are only after the money, and I understand your frustration over untrue love. I have enjoyed reading your Limerick, and I suggest that you drop off this selfish person in a third world country! That's even worse than a dark hole. Thanks for your kind comments. have a wonderful weekend. Peace & Love, Andrew.

The only good thing about fake love is that it gives anger a noble attitude - hey, do you collect historical miniatures? J.A.B. %

Is it impossible for love to stand all by itself? It always seems to need a prop..When the prop fails, love too drops..! Jag
