A KISS? Pray tell me, what is in a kiss, That it should be the ultimate of bliss? I've tried it, and in vain; I cannot see Why so much sought for a mere kiss should be. I wish I knew wherein lies the delight, The smacking part! What's in that to excite? Or drinking souls from lips, as lovers do -- Ah, let me see -- and did I try that too? I have convinced myself it must be good, When people kiss each other as they should; A mouth with rosy lips and a moustache Together met, knock reason "all to smash." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVOYS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ON A YOUNG LADY'S SIXTH ANNIVERSARY by KATHERINE MANSFIELD BRUTUS LIVES AGAIN IN BOOTH by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE NEW APOCRYPHA: BUSINESS REVERSES by EDGAR LEE MASTERS CHILD MARGARET by CARL SANDBURG SONNET: 50 by GEORGE SANTAYANA |
