Action by Example

He professes his love

in no uncertain terms

how words will become twisted

just to watch him squirm

Some people never learn

some people believe anything

following action by example

yet, he'd love a sample

And that beautiful chocolate cake

sliding off this pristine plate

has a date with fate

hope it's not too late

Try and turn around

go another round

reasoning quite sound

reality gagged and bound

Now he professes his love

just to see him squirm

prostrating his love on the ground

showing no growing concern

Just see where this takes him

maybe it's all for the best

nothing by chance, or some random whim

so give it a rest, give it a rest
