I took it to the father of all wisdom.
He gave me advice.
I took the advice
to the mother of all love
and she gave me a hug.
I took the hug
to the prince of all lovers
and he gave me it back, with interest.
I took the interest
to my best friend
and she shared it with me,
together with advice, a hug,
and a promise that it would go no further.
