Substitute Love

I like my vibrator
'Though it could never compare
To the real thing of course.

The downside is
It won't make your
Heart
Stop.

Or fill you up with
Warm, wet love.

Then again,
It can't make you cry.
Or leave you wondering
Who else it made sigh.
It doesn't demand
You give it head
Or, when it's done,
Jump out of bed.

Don't feel rushed
Reaching that climax;
Read a book or
Finish the ironing.
It won't ask where
It left the shoe polish,
Nor that you decipher
The railway timetable.

And while you mend your
Fractured
Heart
Stay supple, and safe
From genital warts.
