What do you think this poem is about?

Love Is Love

Love is Love
so do not tarry.
If Tom loves Dick
then they should marry.
If Anne loves Becky's
lovely Tush,
No more beating about the bush!
But what of Harry's secret flame-
The love that dares not bleat its name?
Ewe'll have to wait another round
of defining deviance down.
If you think this all perversion
please don't quote
the King James' version.
Lines at random from Leviticus
can make you seem
a tad ridiculous.
