Adultery's Antidote

Variation
means variety-to most people.
Here a little Arsenic,
there a little Strychnine.
How about a gourmet meal-
A little Mercury perhaps?

Drop by drop,
the infusion begins:
first by Mary,
then by Susan;
finally by you.

Drop by drop
the poison falls
into his veins.
Will he stop
before he’s dead?

Give him the antidote-
give him love.
Love wishes joy
upon others.
Love joins man to wife,
and love rejoins them.
