The LOVE BUG
is random
loyal
sweet
blind
deaf
and dumb.
So relax, don’t sweat it
Chances are slim
that when it does finally bite
you in the butt
you will have an allergic reaction
however, please note
after the initial rash, tenderness
and swelling subsides
the symptoms
will include rabid in-laws
and a partner
with a mild hypersensitivity and temporary amnesia
with regard
to precious metals, birthdays and flowers.
Children
are another widespread
side effect
of this bug.
In extreme cases
swallow a strong laxative
to ease discomfort
and try not to stress out
to advance a good movement
take a walk
on the nearest golf course
the rash and the in-laws too shall pass, eventually.
