Silly Old Love Songs

Those silly old love songs from decades past Still meander through in my mind Those love songs that speak softly of the thrill Of a blossoming new romance That promise “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney The definition of what true love is “Love Is A Many Splendored Thing” And Perry's, “Can't Help Falling In Love” Am I dating myself... perhaps But these oldies tell of love in much simpler terms Even though the world was still in turmoil These songs promised hope Of finding that very special person To spend eternity with! To love and to cherish! To grow old and grey with! Those were very special times back then! Ah! Memories!!! © Jack Ellison 2014

Memories? The Trolls are making memories with those songs NOW! PLEASE don't tell them that they are silly! I don't want to break their happy bubble. 'Love is a Many Splintered Thing' is the Trolls favorite song to sing while Trolling at the bars. It really reels in the girls. Me I think, when they enter the bar, that they're so big no one can get around them... to get out. But it always works out for the best as everyone discovers Trolls really know how to let the good times roll!
