Robert W Service - What Kisses Had John Keats?Robert W Service - What Kisses Had John Keats?
Work rating: Low


I scanned two lines with some surmise As over Keats I chanced to pore: `And there I shut her wild, wild eyes               With kisses four.` Says I: `Why was it only four, Not five or six or seven? I think I would have made it more,—               Even eleven. `Gee! If she`d lured a guy like me Into her gelid grot I`d make that Belle Dame sans Merci               Sure kiss a lot. `Them poets have their little tricks; I think John counted kisses for, Not two or three or five or six               To rhyme with "sore."`
