PARODY Poem: Cliché Love Poem, by Brittanie Maccarone

It was a dark and stormy night
When everything changed.

It was love at first sight,
Things were new and strange.

Swore I would never fall
For I am clever as a fox.

Hit reality like a brick wall,
Felt pain strong as an ox.

For all good things
Must come to an end.

Time moves on
And time is not your friend.

Of course sticks and stones
Break your bones.

And boy his words
Sure did hurt me.

But all is fair in love and war
And he honestly was a bit of a bore.

Only a matter of time
Before I got over you.

Simply went out to find somebody new.
A method tried and true.

Not quite head over heels.
He’s a bit of a diamond in the rough.

But brave as a lion
And there where the going gets tough.

They say all’s well that ends well.

Could be happily ever after
Or the calm before the storm.

Time will tell
