Poetry Day: I Love You . . . But

(Kind of extreme in a few examples, but you get the point.)

I love you, dearest.
And I found a surgery for your bald spot.

 

I love you, honey.
And I chose a diet for you to use.

 

I love you, sweetie.
And I found a medicine for your sweaty pits.

 

I love you, hubby.
And I picked out your new hairstyle.

 

I love you, handsome.
And I bought you strips for your snoring.

 

I love you without fail.
I just need to make some adjustments.

    Seems like only a mother’s love can be unconditional. And sometimes not even then.
