Robert M. Katzman’s Amazing Story:  http://www.differentslants.com/?p=355

© December 2009

Don’t make my kisses

Comma In your sentences

It seems my love

Can’t

Punctuate your heart

I willingly offer Paradise

But

You prefer a paragraph

If my words only embrace you

(parenthetically)

Then, I’m doing something wrong

If you fail

To

Comprehend my words

If my meaning

Is

Too oblique

Well, it’s not

All that

Profound

I’ve enough of

your

Cold, edited love!

I will seek out a

Warm and seductive

Adjective

Who can better appreciate

A

Simple masculine noun
