Love

The Short, Short Version

By C. Rommial ButlerPublished about a year ago 1 min read
From Mel Brooks' Comedy Masterpiece: "Spaceballs"

"Love sucks," said the God to the Vampyre,

But She laughed because She already knows

That love not only sucks, it blows,

And He burned too hard and lost his fire

Because round and round and round it goes

And it throws off those who can't dance on their toes.

    Love not only sucks it blows! Delightfully whimsical and darkly cynical, Rommi. Loved your comic and contrarian entry to the challenge. PS. Best line from Space Balls: “I’m surrounded by assholes!”
