An Ode to Long Distance Love

A long distance love can be lovely,

There’s passion and romance,

You can meet in new wonderful places,

You can wine, you can dine, you can dance.

Leave regular life far behind you,

No work and no phones and no bills,

This is the time for just playing,

No cleaning up messes or spills.

After the fun is all done,

Go back to your life and be you,

Stay in your boxers or sweats,

Be a slob, ignore the shampoo.

Yes, long distance love can be lovely,

When you plan it, the romance is there,

But the rest of life just isn’t bothered,

What a great way to spell love affair!
