Loves Brake

LOVE’S  BRAKE               

Many are  by the night mice,
They eat you quietly like lice
Their pretence is just to  entice ...
They are by no means really nice

The farmer’s love for his hens:
Every time in and out the pens;
So often he bakes with their eggs
His pet feeds daily on their legs.

Hold the brake when you hear love,
He may sing songs, she may with you laugh;
The agenda for you can be rough and tough:
Though it looks a sheep,it can still be a wolf.

Calamity hides its dagger under  tongue and face;
So many have become its preys without any trace.

Very good advice, Kayode. Everyone should think twice before falling in love. Even though it's difficult to remember that in the moment! Congratulations on your win, as well! :)

ok, I read what you said to me down here and now I get it. I did not know Val meant Valentines!! It's also short for the name Valarie! You could call it Love's brake too!

Yes, I really get this one. it is full of wisdom. Why do you call it Val's brake?
Kayode Avatar

Thank you Andrea, I call it Val's brake because it is meant to caution people that may be carried away with the idea of valentines to love with moderation; just like a reckless driver on highway needs his brake for the avoidance of accident. Any better idea Andrea? I will be glad to learn from you again.
