A chip fell in love with a small piece of cod, <br />It felt really normal and not a bit odd <br />And though they both knew they had not long to live, <br />Both knew they had love unbridled to give. <br /> <br />His love was unfilleted, right from the heart, <br />The scent of her vinegar right from the start <br />Had warmed his desire, his will to get at her. <br />To woo her and coo her and bond with her batter. <br /> <br />She, too, was taken and so starry-eyed, <br />She found him so straight cut and so freshly fried, <br />No crinkle-cut cutie but chunky and whole, <br />To meet a chip like him had been her life's goal. <br /> <br />They lay side by side on the edge of the plate, <br />Gave each other strength while awaiting their fate. <br />They'd know life was limited, they'd soon be freed <br />From their life on this earth when the menu decreed. <br /> <br />They cuddled up closely so nothing would spoil <br />Their last greasy moments on this mortal coil. <br />An odd combination but such a good match. <br />They had their last kiss then they slid down the hatch.<br /><br />Terry Donovan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/last-love-3/
