give your love

if you give your love
to your children
they'll give it back
in full, maybe not
now, but eventually
if you live long
enough.
if you give your
love to food, it
will give you larger
clothes and
you won't be
able to see your
shoes, if you give
your love to your dog
or cat, you'll get
heart break in return
as they come and go
too fast. if you give
your love to rosemary,
well, be very careful
with that, you'll
spend all your money
at the infirmary
and never get love
back.
