WHY I LOVE LOVE

Love is like a terrible trope
such as a long, long rope
tied to hope --
you've got to admit that's awful.

Love is unlike a rickshawful
which if you're being lawful,
is one, hardly a crawful,
no, love is a full-bellied beast.

Love is a priest
released 
Oh, my, what a feast!
Who knew communion could be such fun!

Love is self-undone,
like studying German,
love is a sturgeon,
as old as water, mother of us all.
