To Flirt or not to Flirt

To flirt or not to flirt;
that is the question.
To suffer the slings
of mundane life
or the arrows of cupid
without a shield.
William Shakespeare,
who cares about to be
or not to be.
Shield yourself
by playing the field
and share in the joy
of your new found freedom.
Give happiness a chance
and let patience prevail.
Pick ye rosebuds
while ye may.
The frost of winter
comes early enough.
Strenghten your heart
so that is strong
enough for love.
If your lover leaves you
is your friend still not around?
Cherish each friendship
like it is your last.
Don't look for the love of your past.
Precious moments taken
advantage of may not
happen again.
Take heart,
you are never alone.
Its a great big earth
and friends abound.
