Let’s Remain Friends

Love is capable Of ruining our marvelous friendship And destroying our great relationship. Love is culpable In every instance, where strong feelings Are engaged. Love stings Like the nocturnal killer bees Like the flower hat jellies of the shallow seas. Let’s remain friends Let’s shake hands And avoid the kisses and the hugs So we won’t stain our velvety rugs. Love is a deadly harpoon With a sharp and invisible blade Love is an unpredictable weapon. Let’s not drink that Kool-aid Appearance is deceiving This drink is potent and debilitating. Love is capable Of staining our soul Let’s stay clear of the pool. Love is culpable Love is a viperish mother-in law Love is an apprentice Alf with a deadly saw. Let’s remain friends Let’s shake hands And let’s have fun Under the pristine smile of the moon.
