How is love like a can of worms?

Question

inspired by Spider.

Answer 1

Its because love is very messy and slippery.

Answer 2

There was a young lady who swallowed a spider... he igled and jiggled and wiggled inside her...

Okay... mind outta the gutter now :)

Love is like a can of worms, because it squirms inside you. It wakes up bits of you that *you* weren't even aware were there. It is possible to get trapped in the cycle... swallow the spider to catch the fly... not knowing why you swallowed the fly... and so on and so forth, losing sight of the original motivation.

Love is not knowing where the journey will take you... but taking it anyway. Therein, lies the potential (both cause and effect) that necessitates the opening of a few cans of worms.

Answer 3

I have never tried to compare it to a can of worms before. But I would say that It takes a lot of worms to fill up a can of worms and it takes a lot of love to fall in love. That is the best I can come up with at the moment I have kids screaming.

Answer 4

the answers above sum up my original thoughts (excluding the penis reference - lol), But then co-incidentally I was playing Squeeze and this song came on - which i don't remember from before.

It gives a whole new interpretation:

She was married and then divorced
Things seemed to happen that way
The children were confused, sometimes they’d fight
Sitting in their toys and games
To them she’s mother and I am their friend
Who sits with them on his lap
And sleeps on the sofa on alternate weekends
No substitute for their dad
She’s a very good mum
As she tries to explain
Everything that she can
But a child’s mind is sharp
They imagine the worst
Sometimes can’t understand
That there’s so much to learn
When you open a can of worms

So to the park to play on the swings
To give their mother a break
When I saw their father walking down the path
Heading down towards the gate
I froze on the spot, heart in my throat
I hoped he’d not see us there
He soon disappeared and the kids on the slide
Were happy and unaware

I read the papers and made scrambled eggs
The kids got ready to leave
Their father was taking them for the weekend
With pocket money and sweets
They were excited as they waved goodbye
And I went straight back to bed
Their mother stood and watched as they drove away
Standing on the front door step
