I tend to post my more serious verse and fiction here on Bard at Bay and steer my more lighthearted material towards my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/richard.fleming.92102564). Now and then, however, I feel there’s room on BaB for a spot of levity, hence Romance? No Chance! featured below.
ROMANCE? NO CHANCE!
Most great romances end in tears.
Dead Romeo and Juliet
is an example. Tristan too,
his love for Isolde a bet
he lost. So, sadly, it appears
that too much love’s not good for you
and as for all that love-song crap,
it only lures you to a trap.
Best stick to books if you want love:
romantic novels don’t cause pain:
a tear or two, perhaps, but soon
you can forget and start again.
It’s best to give that stuff the shove.
Who needs the stars? Who wants the moon?
Be a romantic if you must.
Not me, I’ll opt for simple lust.
