Romance (But not too mushy)

So lately I've been thinking a lot about romance. I guess it's always on my mind during the day. Sometimes its much more than others. It's strange I don't like romantic movies, romantic poems or romantic stories but i like participating in romance. And lately I've felt that the wrong people in this world are getting the romance. As selfish as it sounds I don't think some people deserve the right to have a romance.

Big fat apes who hit women and laugh and joke about them don't deserve the right to a woman. Because there are good people that deserve it so much more. I know that this world can't be perfect, it's just I am sick of seeing people with horrible personalities get the right to a woman. Romance isn't easy to come by just by sitting around and I know that. But it's hard to find a woman when the apes stand in my way. It's hard to be myself when the chimps are screaming and yelling and flinging their poo at me.

Anyway, here is the prompt for today:

Write a poem about romance, good or bad.

Here is mine:

Ugly Duckling

"How I envy the apes"

the ugly duckling said

As he grated his wings against a old rusty razor

"It is we ugly ducklings who deserves the greatest of swans"

He said standing up straight showing his

yellow belly

He walked to the park bench and sat

as an ape placed his large hands

across the breast of a swan

"See isn't that shameful"

He said

The ape pounds his chest

as the swan begins to giggle

The Ugly Duckling

smiles

hangs his head low

and returns home.
