1526 – Carrot Kisses

I Do Not Want Your Kisses

I do not want your kisses
upon my precious face.
Your lips invade but I evade
the ones you try to place.

I do not mind your hugging.
Please, pat me on my head!
But don’t you sneak upon my cheek
unwanted pecks instead.

I like the way you love me,
but when you try to smack,
I cannot help but squeal and yelp.
I’ll run and won’t turn back.

So please keep all your kisses,
for if I may be frank
your rotten breath, it reeks of death.
So gross. So foul. So rank.
