Song of Solomon (8:6)
“Love is strong as death
Jealousy as severe as Sheol,”
So keep your temper cool
And stay on solid soil.
“Flashes like the flashes of fire”;
Hellish is romantic desire!
Control that flame of love;
Chill out! Take a tip from a dove:
A little peck here; a little peck there.
Then take leave of that affair!
Got loftier things to do
Than to get yourself a good screw.
Got a higher call to follow;
Leave alone all that is hollow.
