Falling in Love Sounds Fun

falling in love sounds fun
russian roulette 
with a fully loaded gun
the stupidity of adulthood
found out whilst still only young
a tuneless piece of music
so beautifully sung
a dirty dishcloth 
not yet fully wrung
falling in love sounds fun
no best friends
just a favoured chum
happiness overlooked
upon a face so glum
fathers day
with thoughts only of mum
