Jenny Kissed Me

by Leigh Hunt


Jenny kissed 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 missed me;
Say I'm growing old, but add-
Jenny kissed me!


Readers of "84 Charing Cross Road" will probably remember Leigh Hunt as Helene hanff's favorite author...not the greatest but a nice poem.
