Conversation

But we've got to stop laughing like this
With tears in our eyes
(Which is a nice way for tears to take their leave).
Someone might see us
And wonder why we're still laughing
When the evening news
Only permits an occasional grin.
(Did I tell you that
Your bottom lip hangs down
Like a baby bulldog's,
That your teeth are crooked
And I love you?)
