Rethinking some of those passionate declarations made in the heat of the moment, made for some laughs

A Thunder Storm and You

A thunder storm and you;
that's all I would need-
and a blanket, and a goblet
with a long stem,
and maybe a feather and maybe a rose
(for tactile stimulation)
you know how it goes;
A thunder storm and you-
that's all I would need
we’ll let the rest of the world
run on greed
cause we have pure love
and that’s all we need;
A thunder storm, and you-
that’s all, indeed.

A thunder storm and you;
and nothing else, need-
cept a candle and bugspray,
and a towel and some shoes,
maybe some soap and deodorant too,
and maybe a cot-
inside perhaps, a tent.
A thunder storm and you-
that’s all I would need
just let the rest of the world
go to seed
but we’ll have our love
on which we will feed;
A thunder storm, and you-
that be our creed.


A thunder storm and you
would all my needs fill-
though maybe some paper
and stamps for a letter
a mailbox, a doormat
to wipe off the sand
a cooler for food;
now that would be grand.
A thunder storm and you-
now somehow seems lacking
but don't worry, you know that
I'd not send you packing;
we'll both be so happy
that here we have tarried,
but it could get expensive-
should we get married?

I enjoyed your humor. It seems like your list of all that you need keeps growing - getting married? No end to it.

Ha ha... I get the distinct feeling the protagonists in this piece will shortly be creating their own electricity.

Haha - - this jaunty dance of a verse states a truth that " much wants more" Patti. I love your use of short line tight rythmn to make a lighthearted read.
