LOVE
is a
balancing
act
getting this group of letters to pull their own weight
is a MAJOR death-defying trapeze act
Love is worth
about seven points in the Scrabble TENT
the V being the four point Ringmaster
so much rests on V
the heart, the head, the show basically.
Meanwhile the L and the E
don’t seem to do much at all.
Rebel L,
is always on his i-Phone,
cowlicks into space going to FEED the HUNGRY, invent PEACE, start his own show.
and lazy E needs to build some muscle
but he’s got this stabbing pain in his midsection
probably something genetically modified that he ate.
Lady O is so full of herself she’s starting to lose her balance
atop the critical dancing showman V.
she thinks ice-cream holds the key to the universe
the deal breaker is none of the others will tell her
she is ballooning and I don’t mean like a flower.
Yes LOVE the thing we all crave
it’s that warm fuzzy feeling, the afterglow,
the sun shining on your face, the flutter in your heart
it sends the same strong message, in all dialects and languages
Sometimes if you don’t feed it—IT BITES you in the ASS.
Large, extra-large, and ginormous asses
that will sit next to you on the plane
and hide the armrests under a massive layer of LOVE
can I get that with PIZZA and a diet coke?
Don’t you LOVE, LOVE?
