poetry du jour

I have this poem in my head today, and thought I'd share it, it's a nice one.

Jenny Kissed Me

Jenny kiss'd me when we met,
  Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief, who love to get
  Sweets into your list, put that in!
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad,
  Say that health and wealth have miss'd me,
Say I'm growing old, but add,
  Jenny kiss'd me.

  -- James Leigh Hunt

Thank you. I've been thinking of this one recently, too. I think it was from visiting grandkids :<) .
