amore

Ready for some groaners? (author unknown)

When the moon hits your eye,

Like a big pizza pie,

That's amore.

When an eel bites your hand,

And that's not what you planned,

That's a moray.

When your horse munches straw,

And the bales total four,

That's some more hay.

When Othello's poor wife,

Becomes stabbed with a knife,

That's a Moor, eh?

When you ace your last tests,

Like you did all the rest,

That's some more "A"s! 

A comedian ham,

With the name Amsterdam,

That's a Morey.

When your chocolate graham,

Is with marshmallows crammed,

That s'more, eh.

When you've had quite enough,

Of this dumb rhyming stuff,

That's "No more!", eh?

What is amore? It's love! 

--the cement that holds relationships together, the "bond of perfection" (Col. 3:14)

--the essence of God's nature (I John 4:7)

--the one thing greater than any of God's spiritual gifts (I Cor. 13:8)

-- the foundation of the greatest command (and the second greatest!) (Mark 12:30-31)

--the culmination of the Christian graces (2 Peter 1:5-7)

That's amore! "Let all that you do be done with love." (1 Cor 16:14).
