There are three little words all wise men come to fear.
We instinctively know that we ought to stay clear.
By all means we posess we should shun, and avoid,
those three words at all cost.( Can you say,"paranoid"?).

We don't want to contend with the bother and fuss,
that will most likely end in disaster for us.
But, before you suggest that we see Dr. Phil
or give Oprah a call, 'cuz we're mentally ill,

let me try to explain, it's just par for the course.
Such unnatural acts may require applied force.
Even with the right tools, and a great deal of care,
we'll more often than not throw our hands in the air!

Some occasions appear to make matters much worse.
Then those three little words are the most dreaded curse,
that shall ever befall we poor fools , once again.
May the lord help us all. ( Can I get an "Amen"?)

Anniversary gifts, Birthday presents, oh dear !
Lest we ever forget, it's abundantly clear,
that the true bane of man ain't the birds and the bees,
but the stuff that we buy which brings us to our knees!

By the saints I will swear, I know what I speak of!
You may talk all you want 'bout the power of love.
But, those three little words " I love you " couldn't inspire,
such a rant as these three... " Some assembly required "!
