Mary's Mixed Bag - Love (Not!)

Greetings, Toads and Friends.  Time for another Mary's Mixed Bag. 

I always try to come up with sometime just a little bit different each month.Valentines Day is right around the corner, so this got me thinking. Not here yet, so I don't want you to think about writing a REAL love poem; but what I would like you to do is to write a 'love poem' to / about something that you don't love in the least. In actuality, something you detest:

Perhaps spiders.
Wikimedia Commons
Or dentists.



Wikimedia Commons
Or garlic.




Wikimedia Commons
Or winter. Or people who gossip.   Or robo calls.  Or backseat drivers. Or reality TV.

Anyway, I am sure you get the idea!  I hope you will look upon this as an opportunity to have a bit of perhaps 'tongue-in-cheek' fun as you share the love!

Link below, and visit as many others who link as you can!  Enjoy!

    I do have a sense of humor, but I don't think I truly brought that out today. This prompt drew out a list that was actually shorter than I expected, though. Nice to know. Thanks for the prompt, Mary, and for your ever welcome visits.

    Would have loved to participate, but we have another full day of reading the house. It will be available to show on Sunday. UGH. The closer I approach my deadline, the faster I am pitching and giving away ;P

    Mary, I visited this particular dislike once before... but somehow cannot write enough about it! The Valentine is a very clever approach, thanks!! Amy
