A desperate attempt to quantify love. It runs along a theme that I once chanced upon. One of my friends noted the similarity but believe me . . . this is my original work!
Given a general emotional equation of the second degree,
'Tis required the roots of the love - to be or not to be.
Assume the equation ax^2+bx+c=0,
Where x is the unknown - a "yes" or a "no".
The problem seems to be the constants a,b, and c,
For they directly affect x's determinacy.
In any case, though, the results may be generalized,
To 3 possible roots which can be quickly summarized:
If x is positive, then let love be -
The numeric integer being love's intensity.
If x is negative, obviously love cannot be,
The numeric integer corresponding to the repellancy!
Should the root contain a term imaginary,
It's all in the mind, no need to worry.
For love is in the heart to be nurtured tenderly,
Not in the brain where it is treated academically!
Thus, is love's quadratic equation,
A quick way to asses a romantic decision.
Now if the values for a, b, and c,
Could only be defined with great accuracy . . . !
