Description:
Chalk & Cheese
If chalk was cheese, or beans were peas And no sometimes meant maybe If black was white, and day was night Then would you be my baby If truth was lie, or low meant high And a sparrow was a starling If young meant old, and hot was cold Then would you be my darling If love was hate, or chance was fate And stealing meant to borrow If wine was milk, and tweed was silk Would you love me still tomorrow If big was small, or stand meant fall And short meant being longer If old was new, and I were you Would you love me any stronger If girl was boy, or pain was joy And August was November If right was wrong, and ding meant dong My face would you remember If snow was red, or X was Z And grass was not for growing If push was pull, and cow meant bull Would your love for me keep growing If stop meant go, or friend meant foe And thick meant being clever If wind was rain, and France was Spain Would you love me forever |

I faved this piece a few days ago---but my internet was compromised and couldn't comment. Just wanted you to know that I loved it, the lyricism, the whimsy, the rythm and rhyme--I can only say "Kudos" Loved it. That's all ( Not vet constructive is it--but why fix what ain't broken?Sally| | Posted on 2014-02-23 00:00:00 | by Silverdog | [ Reply to This ] | I love this one! | Annie | Posted on 2013-08-31 00:00:00 | by annie0888 | [ Reply to This ] | Wow! I loved the flow of this and the feeling of "up beat" as I read it! This reminds me of something that I would expect from Nikki Giovanni. I'll be looking forward to more of your writings! Great work! :) | | Posted on 2011-12-01 00:00:00 | by Majesticdreamer | [ Reply to This ] | Happy day Frank! | This was like a song being sung by Sinatra. Your range of talent is so natural as Jacob mentioned. As always, well done and very beautiful!

"if wind was rain, and France was Spain" and the rain in Spain really did fall mainly on the plain...would you be My Fair Lady.... just a really good poem jacob | Posted on 2011-11-22 00:00:00 | by jacoberin | [ Reply to This ] | |
