Fools in Love
by A. Gautam
Betty won't sing of trees and doves.
Now she sings of hearts and love.
She has been struck by cupid's arrow.
I tell her she is in for sorrow.

We used to hike and swim and play.
Now Betty dreams, and sings all day.
She writes poetry to herself,
and hides them in a secret shelf.

The culprit is the movie she saw—
that shows a prince, and a happy ending.
I'm tired of Betty staring in awe,
forgetting there's homework pending.

If she won't help me with my math,
or forget to walk me to school,
I may not be able to fath.
My Betty can't be such a fool!
