Sticks and Stones

Sticks and stones
will break my bones
but names will
never hurt me.
When times get tough
and I'm alone
your love will
not desert me.

Took a tad of hubris to fiddle with such an iconic rhyme. But what the heck? I gave it a shot. Appreciate your comment.

Eve, thanks for your hosting. With trepidation, I dare to touch a rhyme of this magnitude. Your comments and placement make me feel less foolish.
