Written for Ovi Poetry Challenge #69;
our inspiration word is “spice”. Here is my ovi.
It’s said love makes the world go ‘round
A loving couple altar bound
Their forever love have they found
What a very happy day!
What is the special joy of life
A happy man, a happy wife
A recipe with lots of spice
Who could ask for more?
Keep fighting to a minimum
Lovemaking to a maximum
Your lives will never be humdrum
And you’ll smile all the while!

Thanks, Michele! Glad you like both the poem and song. I was originally going to go with the song of the same name from the play “Carnival”; perhaps you know it. It’s a lovely tune and I can imagine a very nice contemporary dance routine to the carnival-like melody.

Thanks, D! I was originally going to use the song of the same name from “Carnival”, then I remembered this one. I doubt too many people would have remembered the song from the play.

A lovely poem, Nancy.
I’m afraid that I’m more pragmatic and subscribe to this view:

Hahaha! I have to admit, Clive, as much as I dislike both Liza with a Z and Joel Grey, this was rather entertaining!
