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 tennesse 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 is 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 soar

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!
