O, my love’s got a red, red nose,
That’s stuffed from Spring til June.
O, my lover’s wheeze, a melody
That’s played in phlegm and gloom.

Reminded me . . .
Didn’t Shakespeare write something
about his love that on the face of it
was derogatory?

I like this one.  Made me smile.  I am also partial to short poems

Thanks, Juju.  I figure if I bore someone with a really short poem, at least I didn't bore them long.

This gave me a chuckle, Nan. This applies to half the people I know at the time of year.

Sounds like Robert's antics such as they were, he and all his flirtations and drinking.
Great stuff.....made me smile....
