Nice

In my opinion lesse,
I think lays, should be changed to lies between, to play on a double meaning?

Yes, right again, I like that better.

Happens too often

Doesn't it Lesse. Sad.

Sooner or later there's got to be a catch.

what a surprise!

It is short, well-written and rather profound. I truly enjoyed your poem and I have to say, thanks for making me smile. The ending was great :)

Lesse -

And when it is caught - Yep, I've been writing too much about that!

This reminds me of the fabled Nawabs of Allahabad who would bow to one another

On the highway " after you , Jenaab !" & stand for hours insistin' the other Noble should precede him in a show of futile ( IMHO) courtesy !?!

I agree

Echoing what Maria said, well done in so few lines. Very profound and strong
