Knots

What’s so special about knots?
They bring ends together and carry lots.
Tie them all up with the deepest bends
Seeking justice that always ends.

Let’s pretend you’ve met a beau
Will you tighten up or let it go?
Too much tension and all that stuff.
Screw him and always act tough!

Then fly off for some more love.
Don’t act smart. Be a turtledove.
Cuddle and coo till two ends meet.
Get a divorce and land on your feet.

What do you expect out of love nowadays?
A knot in the stomach? A crime or a rage?
Whatever comes was there from the start.
Knots to anyone taking your part!
