Lessons in love are hard to learn. - Michelle Liew

******************************************************************

Barry swore his love was true, 

till Linda with his best man flew

A lesson learned, a bitter sting

Love's more  than just a diamond ring. 

Now he woos with caution new,

Armed with prenups, chocolates too.

He seeks love in sweet tweets,

But gets ghosted there twice- deja vu!
