Well, pardon me, I must be dumb 'Cause I don't know where love comes from. Not even sure what it's made of, That silly little thing called love. I thought it came around here once But I was such a silly dunce, Before I had the chance to say "I love you, love"- it went away. No, wait!! What am I thinking of? Of course I have known real love. A love that opened every door. I got it from my labrador. He always smiled with shining eyes And, never once, did criticize. He answered to my every whim And knew that I was there for him. Perhaps I could transpose these facts, Apply them to how humans act To reach an understanding of Ingredients that make true love. Could be, if you don't criticize - Show disapproval in your eyes, And give someone whole-hearted trust Displaying love instead of lust.... You'll have the prime ingredients Of making love - Now, that makes sense! There is one other thing that's true; To love someone, they must like you! Only in the Bible, please Do people love their enemies. In real life, I do believe To give out love, you must receive. To receive it, you must give it out.... WHAT THE HELL AM I TALKIN' ABOUT!?!?! This love talk brings me to my knees! Can't we change the subject, please? Must be a formula for true love. Someone will surely invent it. I hope they do it real soon... I'm tired of going to rent it! |

the human brain's chemical reactions brought about by chocolate are said to equal those of love...so there are two possible approaches then: (1) if you are a chemist, analyze chocolate; (2) if you feel unloved, buy a box of chocolates  ------------------ one night at the airport...Childhood Memories...eight short weeks...Music to my Ears...your countenance...just watching tv...hoarse whispers...My One and Only...Tribute to M.J....Feel the need?...serving wench...a little girl...the mistress...stolen hours...Perfection...devotion...Master ...apart...plain...chat?

Sir Balladeer: A fine bit of humor with a good dose of truth. However, I'm sorry to report that love is a woman named Carol and she more resembles a squirrel. At least for me.  |

Thank you all. Andrew, I'm not sure you want your wife to see your comment or she might kick your *squirrel food* DeVine one: Hear my dog bark? Afraid you can't. One look at you And he'd just pant!!! |

Well Sir Balladeer, once again your message is clear. Here's wishing you bundles of Love, be it with a Labador, or be it with a women pure. |

No problem here, Sir Balladeer From here to there She's got long red hair A squirrel's tail it could be When I get to make it a mess She says it looks like a nest And she likes to climb trees |
