LIKE the pulling power that draws lead to a magnet,

Like a drug that's lived and breathed through tide and time,

Like a potency with far more hold than liquor -

And a nectar with more kick than aged wine.

Like a vapour that intoxicates the senses,

That rules the heart and never leaves the blood,

The shepherd and his dog adhere to duty....

Drawn by the age-old incense known as love.
