Love Is a Bore

Here is a verse unlike any verse
 To a song that you've never heard
 It deals with the subject
 That I and the authors agree
 Is at best absurd
 Love is a bore
 Love is a ball game without a score
 Love is a sail boat without a sail
 The lock on the candy store
 Asparagus without the hollandaise
 Plus all the petty laughs
 In Tennessee Williams' plays
 I used to love it but now it's a drag
 Love is a flag pole without a flag
 Love is the mailman without the mail
 A comic without a gag
 A soap opera plot and lots, lots more
 But mainly, I mean love's a bore
 It's I'll call you tomorrow
 It's a phone that never rings
 It's a sack full of sorrow
 Or a ride on angel's wings
 So just remember the next time you saw
 Love is an exit without a door
 But if you're in love you'll ignore
 All the things that I've said here before
 And you'll pray that your love
 Whatever he does
 Will come back and be
 The bore that he was before
