A tribute to love. (image from dollsofindia.com)

Of Verses, Boughs, and Thee The Persian poet told us Of the pleasures to be found In verses, trees, bread and wine In a setting on the ground. Ingredients that please us Stir the senses and the soul Lift the veil of mental anguish Caress us and console. At harmony with Nature In the coolness of the grass Resplendent in silken garments With time for other things to pass. A cup of wine a mandolin Gentle breezes cool the day Drink to me only with thine eyes Another bard was wont to say. Wrapped in beauty guile and wonder A scene befitting Heaven’s door Complete with passion love and Thee How could Paradise be more?

You are damned right! Paradise is right here before our eyes. All it takes is for us to get up off of our cell phones, grab our girl and head for the riverbank in the spring time under a huge oak tree. Just as long as the fire ants, mosquitoes, and other critters don't spoil our sunburn day.

PS. Does bough rhyme with though? Thou thinks not!
