    Sweethearts 

Have you ever been asked 

what's your favorite word 

My house you'd have to 

ask, the little lady knows 

Does he use now and then 

or is it regular 

Little lady is the 

apple of my soft heart 

She can do no harm 

to this old hardboiled egg 

So the lady responds 

for me, knows my innards 

 

I'm hoping she will say 

it's "Sweetheart" with a smile

 - I am linked with Rosemary for Friday Writing #126 at  

   https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/

where she has asked 

"us to write about to write a poem or story (or a few) in only 160 characters including title and spaces. (If you choose to write more than one, please put them all in one post and make sure that collectively they don't exceed our 369 word limit.) (or use) one of our favorite words."  Mine, for this 'us' is "Sweetheart".

 - Note" This is the number 2003 of 'poems' labeled or called as such I've posted here since the first, in 2006.  Some I forgot to label.
