This poem is very witty and loveable, but there is also another level which is the total domination of language by intellect. Language is naturally impulsive and full of shadowy implications. In this poem we see the writer applying rationality proactively in the area of feelings. How can rationality deal with feelings in the end? Even the poet warns you to beware of what might happen. It's humorous in a vein of self-parody, but maybe it's also a serious metaphor for how people deal with their feelings in clunky ways.
