What Could be Sweeter than that

Another nice little romantic poem but with a twist.

Perhaps it could be said this story is too ordinary to make good

poetry

But it’s a story about two lovers. How much better could it be?

They are soul mates. Just a couple of kids in love

They make sweet music together. Now surely that should be enough

It doesn’t matter to them that it’s a mix and match game they play

Or that they’re kissin’ cousins which to some would be quite tawdry and risqué

And that there is a lot of difference between his age and hers

Now these things are the makings of a steamy plot a good romance novelist prefers

You see he is twice her age! Now surely that takes the stink off the

rose

But as long as they are happy, what’s the harm in it do you suppose?

They enjoy a loving relationship, which should be against the rules and in our society would surely be

But in theirs it’s an accepted practice and not frowned on at all you see

So even if he is just four years old and she is two years younger

The fires of love burn in their bellies and set them ablaze with desire’s hunger

So I see no harm in telling this sweet little love story

Because in every such tale, love has its own measure of glory

And it truly doesn’t matter that he’s a handsome young skunk and she’s a pretty little polecat

Because, once you get around the smell, what could be sweeter than

that?

[James Walpole]

Sweet and innocent, nice expression of the contrast of society's rules and the love of two unconstrained souls, i did however feel that the way their love was expressed was controversial sounding for the sake of alienating the reader like a bit of trickery that is revealed by the end, but i do not feel that the love between the two would be the same expressed, more an affection as they are too young to truly know what they feel towards each other, it is more "kids at play."
