PAD Chapbook Challenge Day 26

Today's prompt, one that Robert Lee Brewer always offers during each poem-a-day challenge month: Wirte a love and/or "anti-love" poem.  So here's mine:

Hallmark Season

That morning she spills her coffee on him,
she doesn't know he is a prince.
She tells him she works with orphans -
it's enough to make you just wince.

They meet cute, and you know that somehow,
one thing's bound to lead to another.
And the actor who plays her widowed dad
looks familiar - he played someone's brother.

By Christmastime, they're madly in love.
A royal wedding's the closing scene,
with snowflakes and bells and a beautiful gown -
I'm sorry, I don't mean to be mean,

but these movies all look the same to me;
Lacey Chabert stars half of the time.
And they're always presented by Hallmark -
which is why I wrote this poem in rhyme.
