The Reluctant Romantic (In Honor Of Ph Friend Bri Edwards) Poem by Elena Plotkin

The Reluctant Romantic (In Honor Of Ph Friend Bri Edwards)

Rating: 4.5


To my ph friend Bri Edwards, the reluctant romantic,
He who trusts marriage as one should've trusted the Titanic.
He who feels that marriage is just smoke and mirrors,
for the idiots, the fatalists, and the self-deceivers.
Yet when it comes to saying the fatal words of 'I do, '
He did so, quite often... and so eloquently too.
He must've practiced the words quite a bit,
To be able to say them and not have a fit.
Oh, my ph friend Bri Edwards, you reluctant romantic,
Remember there were some survivors of the Titanic!

'Yet when it comes to saying the fatal words of 'I do, ' He did so, quite often... and so eloquently too. He must've practiced the words quite a bit, To be able to say them and not have a fit' - ha ha ha, seems to be true! Nice to see poets of this forum writing on each other; it evokes good feelings among fellow readers.

THANKS, Elena. and now, ...........a treat (perhaps) for YOU! Someone's Panties I've never found Romance was necessary to remove someone's panties, which iIve done in homes-palatial, and......in less opulent homes: shanties. I have never married a smoker, but I've spent lots of time viewing mirrors, sometimes ones on ceilings, helping me to view my luscious wives' rears. bri ;) [hmmm. shall i submit it? ] [maybe not]
