Love-Life Poem by Jay Alexander

Love-Life



From time to time life is like a bus ride,
Or if you prefer a boat ride,
Or simply a ride on just about anything,
You like;
Then perhaps it's a bit like knitting,
(Nits, nuts, bolts, Knots, Scots)
Or kilting out for whatever……
Or if not, it could be like,
Eating strawberries and cream,
Which suggests Wimbledon,
And some calling out " Love all! ",
So that: " All's well that ends well",
What a relief!
However if it's not that, it could be this,
And this is the conundrum -
For if we take a swallowtail and a swallow,
There's a difference,
Let's not get carried away though,
This isn't an ornithological or a lepidopterology
Lesson.
So if life can teach us something,
It is that L-I-F-E is L-O-V-E, and L-O-V-E is L-I-F-E:
Easy, two L's first letter, two E's last letter
In the middle I-F-O-V, or O-V-I-F,
Or, to develop:
An IF -OF situation,
Develop further, an:
ON-OFF situation
Or even in extreme cases a PIF-OFF situation.
So ladies and gents, I rest my case:
Life/ Love, Love/Life is everything -or nearly!
