Kissing (2022) Drawing by Edwin Loftus

Usually, I go to great pains to explain what I was thinking in making a drawing ... but this is about kissing. If you have already kissed, a real romantic, drawn out, I don't ever want to stop doing this kind of a kiss ... you already know about it. If you haven't and you aren't just so young you don't know about it ... go find someone that is as attracted to you as you are to them and learn about it.
If for some reason you can't do this, you have my sympathy and the hope that this will help you to imagine it.
If you just think you can't ... I can pretty much guarantee that there are people out there that want to be kissed as much as you do and won't be put off by why you think you can't be kissable to someone else.
To close, I'd like to recite a rhyme I learned from some little girls I did not find "kissable" because they were too young for me, but not for someone their own age.
"Two little lovebirds sitting in a tree,
k-i-s-s-i-n-g!
First comes love,
then comes marriage,
then along comes (_________) with a baby carriage!"
At least 50 years ago, (and probably much longer), some child composed that to tease a friend caught kissing someone.
I love this kind of children's poems, their lightness, innocence and joy. The little girls that taught me that are probably grandmothers today and I hope they got kissed many times and stayed as merry and delightful as I remember them.
Some people may view this picture and think, "Ew! They're naked! Why do they have to be naked?"
But that is not part of my thinking. They are young and happy and doing something they enjoy. The world itself wraps around them in that moment, wanting to bath in their happiness and two angels in squirrel form stand watch to give their blessings.
If by chance you enjoy such things, here are more children's rhymes to accompany it:
"Litte Sally Walker,
sits in a saucer,
trying to get the old man to come back home.
Try Sally try,
put your hands on your hips,
let your backbone slip.
Shake it to the east,
shake it to the west,
shake it to the dear one that you love the best."
Or,
"Say, say old playmate,
won't you come out and play,
and bring your dollies three,
and have some fun with me.
Slide down my rain barrel,
and through my cellar door,
and we'll be jolly friends,
for ever more!"
As comedian, Jimmy Durante used to say, "I got a million of 'em, folks! A million of 'em!"
But I'll stop for now.
