First Love
By Katanga

Oh, well - just trying to take the sting out of the angst . . .

If you guys think it's simply abhorrent, I'll happily delete it!

An experiment in stretching 'rhyme' to ludicrous extremes . . .

Just a whimsy on venereal diseases.

Ha!

Cheers!

First Love

Please seduce me with your gentle words
And make love to me with your smile
But please don't give me genital warts -
I'd have to run a mile.

Can't say that I would associate first love with genital warts but it was very funny! 
 
Don't delete it John. I've learnt never to delete work as it can sometimes be a strange form of inspiration for later pieces. 
 
Keep experimenting! (Now that's first love, lol)
Hey! Sarah!

Thank you so much! 
 
You know what it's like when you want to delete something?! 
 
To be obviously honest, I'd had a few when I clicked 'Submit' . . .  
 
Thanks to you I'll leave it, for better or worse . . .  
 
Please keep your own poems coming! 
 
I think you're 'going places' with your writing . . . 
 
Cheers!

Q: What's the difference between True Love and Herpes? 
 
A: Herpes lasts forever...

I thought this was avery sweet and honest poem...until the last two lines, which were very funny and turned the whole poem around. 
 
I think I will get a few of my friends to read it and have a laugh. 
 
keep it up
