Same Difference

Colour is color 
Favour now favor

Pyjamas is pajamas
Neighbours now neighbors

But a kiss is still a kiss
Affection from a distance

It's just the difference between the British and US spellings in the words you mention in the first two verses, Nigel. But how right you are about the "kiss." Universal language here. Really like this poem!! Best wishes, Carolyn
