Get Out of Love Free

Once you begin the game of love It can go on for years and years It can last a whole lifetime in fact Or can end in a torrent of tears It's just like the game of Monopoly You can acquire material wealth But without a solid foundation of love Your affair's not in very good health There's never been a card in real life To let you "Get Out Of Love, FREE" Infidelity comes at a very high price No winners, no feelings of glee The best advice I can pass along Is make sure you make it past “GO” When the good times start a-rolling in Just sit back and let the love flow Once you begin the game of love It can go on for years and years Pray your foundation is strong enough And you don't wind up in tears © Jack Ellison 2013

Ok I saw this title too and was caught by it. I expected humor, but little more seriousness, which you do well as well. Great work again.

Ah Jack... so many marriages fail because they think it's a game and treat it as such... It's a blessing that needs to be nurtured, as you've said here... Have a Happy Easter with those you love... Your friend and Cathie's... Carol

Great poem, Jack. And great advice! Yes, I agree. There is nothing like love. It can nourish you or sadden you. Love it!
