Love is Like a Stapler

That love is like a stapler is an idea I cannot deny;

And Cupid must work in an office, wearing a dress-shirt and tie.

Love and a stapler both bring things together with a sharp, bright shock:

A stapler fastens leaves of paper, while love makes souls interlock.

Both bring their share of ease and trouble, both can make one feel bereft:

Regardless whether staple or love, when removed a hole is left.

But if all amorous relationships are merely metal bent,

Then Cupid's staples have made many a beautiful document.
