Love is good for the economy

by Mildred Achoch - Leo

Love is good for the economy.
Just ask the phone company employees.
They will tell you that
When lovers get all lovey-dovey
And mushy,
What do they, the employees not the lovers, get?
Job security!
E.g.,
If lovers talk on and on
On the phone
For, say, an hour or three
Everyday
Throughout the month of May,
How much will they pay
To the phone company?
A lot of money!
See?

Love is good for the economy.
Just ask students of psychiatry.
They will tell you that
Love makes their job-hunting easy
Because most lovers do go crazy
Eventually.
So in time, they, the lovers not the students,
Will need psychiatric help
In the form of therapy sessions.
And need I mention
That therapy
Costs money?

Love is good for the economy.
Just ask everybody.
They will tell you that
They bought a car
To impress her,
They bought a football
Team
To impress him,
They bought a horse
Because
It's the latest way to propose,
They bought a rose
Farm
To impress both of them,
They bought a city
To impress me,
They bought two cities
To impress twin sisters ...

Love IS good for the economy.
Don't you agree?
