I read the title and immediately the Haddaway song plastered itself all over the surface of my brain.

A small price to pay for a lovely poem like this.

Thanks.

Haddaway song?

Like your poem, it's titled, "What is love?"

It's a massive earworm, and I'm sure you've heard the opening verse at some point since it's one of those songs that's been repurposed for memes and advertising and whatnot, on top of being one of those songs that will end up in retail store music playlists fairly regularly:

What is love?

Oh baby, don't hurt me,

Don't hurt me,

No more.

I used to hear it a lot at a couple of my older jobs, so just reading the title is enough to shove it right into the forefront of my mind lol

Nope, never heard it. I don't have cable or sat TV anymore.

Clever play on words. I can see myself singing this one all day long in the comfort of my room with no one listening in.
