poem - mark of true love

mark of true love

i find peace in the little things
sitting, hugging my dog
relaxing while reading something interesting
or preparing a great meal

nothing like a pasta carbonara
with a bacon-wrapped meatloaf and sweet potatoes
a chef is the master of peace and love
food can only bring joy and happiness

food brings hungry mouths closer together
food soothes achy stomachs, and
an added glass of vino, settles the nerves

a loud prolonged belch creates the perfect segue
for one can find true love in humour
allowing the better half to yell at you works wonders
accusations are even funnier
especially when you've perfected the art of laziness
or pretend to be deaf, while staring into the sky

violating the little rules is hilarious
for a woman, placement of the toilet seat takes priority
how the toilet paper flows is monumental
not sleeping on her pillow reduces unneeded tension
mattress encroachment avoids nightmares

yet for a man, these are all instruments of love
for the man is the quintessential child
worse than the pet dog
no need for the nightly pee and pooh walk
but please, handle with care

men are wonderfully delicate roses
thorny and horny
believing that skid marks are a mark of true love

well it's time for bed, good night
i hope i don't get yelled at
a peaceful night's sleep is such hard work

thank you,
joseph pede
