Thought for the Day

[bcholmes]

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

I've always loved this one!

I will be cudgeling my brain over the next little while, trying to figure out where I've heard this before. I remembered it because I liked it so much.

'Poetry on the Way', maybe?

I think you're right, because I've read it too.
