Pain Punishes Pleasure Poem by John Sensele

Pain pushes pleasure
Pain and pressure-birds of feather
Together-they limit leisure
In the long run despite pain pangs-don't bother.

Pain measures strength
Pain and punishment-bed fellows
Together-they laugh at length
In the long run despite pain pangs-listen to letters of laws.

Pain seizes souls
Pain and punishment-like poles
Together-they score own goals
In the long run despite pain pangs-don't wallop widows.

Pain weighs women
Pain and punishment-simcard and smartphone
Together-they maul men
In the long run despite pain pangs-on folks don't pour scorn.
