"A poem built entirely on one extended metaphor is Ted Hughes's "The Lovepet" (p. 345), which presents love as a stray and starving animal a man and woman have adopted. On the image level of the poem, which is also the literal level, the lovepet gradually and voraciously eats the couple out of house and home and more. On the conceptual level, the poem charts the disintegration of a marriage."

Which is quite true. There aren't many laughs in it.
