Is A Compliment Like A Kiss? (Victor Hugo – Les Miserable) Poem by Yoseph Lupu

How beautiful you are! How nice!
Your smile is marvelous! You are so nice!
Your words make me feel so pleased!
As if I have been kissed!

Victor Hugo, you are so right, that
'A compliment is like a kiss through a veil '
Every compliment, points in fact,
To a cake positively baked!

It makes the present look fine,
Even if you have to count till nine!
If you have something good to say, please,
Make a compliment, with a sweet kiss!
