Bhow Your Parents Met Poem by Barry A. Lanier

Bhow Your Parents Met

Rating: 5.0


Don't be ashamed if your parents
Didn't happen to meet on a beach in Monte Carlo
Or at a sunset bar in Key Largo or Tahiti
Based on romance and mystery,
But in an aisle of a discount drug store,
In the antifungals section,
Seeking relief from idiosyncracy of itch.
His from the poison ivy, hers more personal
Yet among these veils of happenstance
Able to laugh at the indignities of the flesh
Maybe not love at first sight, yet willing-
to endorse the feeling should it arise
Do not be ashamed, for if they had waited-
for romantic settings more promising-
you would not be here today
