A Family of Four

Love is the strangest of emotions We can turn it on and off most of the time But there are times we lose control Especially in the company of a pretty woman So why does this happen We see an attractive person of the opposite sex And lose control of our emotions We stutter and stammer our speech is broken Our face turns a crimson red A definite sign that step one has been successful From there it's only a matter of time If the feelings are mutual Then it's finally a game... the process has begun To potentially could lead to a family of four

Ah, so true, my friend. But, at my age, I try to keep these encounters to a minimum...no more than three or four a day! (ha!)
