John Lennon
who was a Beatle
wrote a song called “It’s Only Love,”
which he hated.
He said it was one of his two songs
with the Beatles
that were the worst
– and the other one wasn’t “Revolution #9,”
so you KNOW
he must have really hated it.

It’s a trite song
for sure
but like everything done by the Beatles
it was done by the fucking Beatles
so it’s still not that bad.
It’s not “Run for your Life,” at least
which was the worst song Lennon
could think of
in his Northern Songs catalog.

Still, he was a Beatle
and he’s dead
so I think maybe
he could cut himself some slack
even if it’s so hard
to love that song.
