Love's Sense of Humour

 I often find myself using the first two lines in this song;

"I don't mind the thought of growing old,

I just don't want to lose my sense of humor"

(because He's and She's seem to retain ageless quirks and quaint idiosyncrasies;-))

This bowing and curtsying cuddle and fuss

First started by He and She and Her and Him

Vexes, befuddles and oh, muddles us

Perplexing word’s wittiest acronym

These Habits of Him and These Fancies of Her

Startles the finest of Mr. and Miss

Time's silly, common strangeness of humor

Is sometimes a sucker-punch, sometimes a kiss

Kindly distract Her, kind sir, with your laughter

Blindly attract Him, dear Her with your smile

Time forgets days; twixt its before and after

Starry-eyed dreamers and Life reconcile

…teaching the reach of touch-greedy young lovers

Of He and She, Him and Her, Ma’am and Sir

Since Time’s beginning how yet to recover

From love’s sense of humor birthed by Him and Her
