Jenny Kissed Me
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!
James Henry Leigh Hunt
(1784 – 1859)

Thanks Rat, for having Jenny where I could find her.
I find this poem wonderful. It makes me feel great every time I read it, hear it, speak it. That’s why I share it with you.
