Be My Velveeta (1-30-19)

Roses and violets and undying love,
All songs where an angel is sent from above.
And while we're at it,
Those earnestly spoken,
The songs where the singer never seems to be joking.
He stops singing and speaks,
Right straight from the heart,
Like, "Girl you know it's true,"
Ew!
Don't even start.

Shakespearean pronouncements,
And Rom-Com junk,
Every movie in which,
Gosling's a sensitive hunk.
All the dribble and drabble,
And saccharine prattle,
Apologies, Benatar,
But love is not a field of battle!
It's beautiful,
It's human,
But explain to me, please.
Why do we insist on love stories dripping with cheese?
