'That Kind Of Couple! Poem by Dónall Dempsey

We have begun
to become

(you know
the kind)

the kind of couple
people hate to meet

when they are
single

all irriatingly annoyingly
cuddlesome &

all over one
another

kissing when they meet
in the street

for ten minutes or more
as the world waits patiently by.

All this
bloody kissey-wissey stuff!

Enough already!

Finishing...yes dear.. or..
beginning

each other's sentences

as if hearts & watches have been
synchronised.

But now
that we have become one

& you have ended
my solitary confinement

in the isolation of Singledom

of which I appeared to be
so blasé about

but which I absolutely detested

why I find
coupledom to be

far more to my liking.

So rah rah rah & horray hurrah
for the kind of couple we've become!

It's so...mmmmmmmm! .... mmmmmm! '
