In the Year 2013

‘Tis said someday we will not kiss,
that no longer we’ll know the bliss; 
for kissing is the cause of lots of disease. 

In old books they’ll read about it,
they’ll find it used to make a hit,
but all will say “stand back there, please.” 

A few daring ones will, perhaps, 
get wise and don their thinking caps; 
and they’ll wish there wasn’t such a law at all. 

But it won’t matter what they say,
if they did they’d sure have to pay, 
they’d find a poor excuse a mighty bum stall.
