I learned the truth at seventeen,
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high-school girls with clear-skinned smiles,
who married young and then retired.

The Valentines I never knew,
The Friday night charades of youth,
Were spent on one more beautiful,
At seventeen I learned the truth.

If you ask me what my biggest pet peeve in the universe is, it will always be misattributing literary quotes. This is my favorite example of this. Anyone who has read any Shakespeare at all should recognize that this sounds absolutely nothing remotely like this. UGH!!!!! It drives me up the wall every time.
