The Marriage Trap

Love without committment Is no Love at all.

"Why, Jack Sauce, have you come to me in this furtive way?
Do you plan to use and abuse me, in sport or in play?
You do impress me, certainly, but not in the way that I require;
You look for another way into my bed, but in vain is your desire."

Meanwhile the rat, lusting after bacon,
Is reluctant thereof to eat,
Lest as before he takes the obvious way in
Only to get captured by a cheat.

But thick or thin,
The Door of Committment's the only way in;
This may be another trap or treasure,
But sink or swim, as I said before,
The honest suitor to get his pleasure
Must pass through the appropriate door.

Whoever seeks his Love to take and win
Must first himself be taken in.
