Watching Love Affairs Like Spies

Folks watching love affairs like spies,
All the scenes picked: sugared pies.
They capture the whole truth through lies,
Before the end of it truth flies!

But wait: why? Again, I ask 'why?'
The thought wisdom in it Big lie.
We all should Decency Routes ply.
To look one's judge straight in the eye.

Why would an adult risk a pry,
From a sage forcing out a sigh?
To know how it's done by Betty:
To some day dare what is petty?

Not all love affairs the Pretty,
One or two really a pity:
Couples still denied Jesus' stamp,
Who stamp in blind room without lamp;
He is a man worse than a tramp,
Who turns Eves onin Prayer Camp
Still, for prudence alone I cry;
For its sake, spying zero try.

Love affairs should come with a health warning, cos when you get found out, dodging bullets might be your last affair.
