A Long Love Poem

I like you girl;
better'n chicken,
better'n liking myself I reckon

more than any other thing alive;
more than life passing,
or the promise of time

ah Moonman!

Loved the brevity of the piece and the bathos of the title!
A simple expression from a complex man - as is reflected in the last three lines!! Cowboys don't cry, they just tell it like it is! ;)
cheers

Best love poem I've read in a long time.

Just a strange glitch happening.
On my screen
I like you girl
reads as
I like you girt

very weird, if it happens on other things you might want to check for code in your post. Remember always post from a .txt file is best or maybe you put in ; instad of a comma. Makes a big difference.[chuckles]

When I read this, you had me looking hard to see if I'd misspelled,
and it does look funny .... thanks Jess

Sounds a little like a red neck love poem LOL !!

Seriously, I liked the fact it was straight to the point, also it made me smile.

you give immortality to sex ,
I only simply profess

This is my brief
and belief,

Nothing beyond a girl...
never, ever
one should
Chicken
in front of her.....
