The Shortest Tales Of Love Poem by Richard G Berg

I love her
She loves
Herself

He was madly in love
With girls
Who loved pop stars

She loved
Going on dates
With her parents

They loved by day
They hated by night
They often did both

She loved dressing up
Going out, leaving him
Behind with the dishes

He loved
Being honest
With his mistresses

She looked for love
With men she issued
Speeding tickets

He loved
Wearing t-shirts
Naming his favourite sex
Acts with animals

She looked for love
She talked of love
She never gave it

He loved her mind
He hated her body

She loved him in every way
But loved her girlfriend
Everyday

They loved marriage
With many spouses

He was in love
With staying out of work
Staying free
Of love
