It's The Thought That Counts

I wrote this a while ago and found it again

It's the thought that counts

 

I bought my love a lotus flower

with perfect leaves and petals

it smelled of sweetest honey

but then I ate it whole

I bought my love a gilded ring

it shined with glitz and luxury

then it (accidentally) fell down my throat

was totally not my fault

I bought my love a little ferret

smoothest fur and cutest whiskers

that one is actually made of meat

anyway, he was probably a jerk

I bought my love a box of chocolates

I feel like you know where this is going

sorry for eating all your stuff

Thank you, Lisa, for your read of my fair few words. I haven't responded to comments of my posts and I would like to start to share my appreciation beyond just commenting on others poems. If you were moved to comment then I am very flattered. Silly and fun was my goal here and I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

So glad I inspired you to respond... that seems rather important when one reviews ones work..
Perhaps you might like to read one of mine... Tender or Cry... or any other that seems up you alley.

Starts out like a 17th century sonnet and ends up like George Carlin. Very funny. Would like to see more like it.

I wonder how much weight was gained by eating the ring...
I mean, I have heard the saying....I love you so much I could just eat you up...but there are limits...

this is a fun read,
