Love Shack

There is no remedy for love but to love more. - Thoreau

i'm heading down to the love shack

because there's something that i lack

not looking back

not afraid of a heart attack

not worried about tooth plaque

or god-forbid a carjack

off the beaten track

i'll bushwhack with my zippered backpack

along with feelings  that can't be hacked

and a shot of cognac

not worried about a sneak attack

not worried about a damned thing

because my heart's insured by aflac
