Love is like a refrigerator magnet
Reminding you to love them each day,
but you need not be reminded
because love is that big poster
that hangs over your bed.
Love is that big bowl of ice cream
that you find tragically underpriced at seven dollars
Because love is the chocolate sauce poured on top.
Love is like that cute little hamster
you want to curl up with in bed,
while the annoying puppy that is Like
sleeps out in the hallway.
The airplane pilots use love
to guide them along the runways
while people who forget to love each other
have their baggage shipped to Pakistan.
Love is like that Pakistan,
just recently broken off from the sex that is India.
Don't go to India to have sex,
go there to fall in love.
The Chinese built the Great Wall
to seperate the love from the banality.
Love is the hand
that makes a cat purr at the slightest touch.
Love doesn't need to change a burnt-out light bulb
Because in Loveville the sun never sets.
Love is the Lubbington to my Chicago,
Love is the Will Rogers to my Samsonite.
Love the $177 change I got from buying a candy bar.
Invest in love; you won't make money, but you'll like it.
