Funny Little Town

A potter and a seamstress have set the date, you see To tie the not in wedlock and live in harmony Together they will thrive in town, as business will then boom As he will sell some vases and she will work the loom The butcher and the baker, they heard then of their scheme And decided to confront them, which really was extreme They said it wasn’t good that they combine their business so For they too wanted riches and that their business then to grow But, the potter and the seamstress explained of their love, true That the business was just extra, for marriage they must do The butcher and the baker, both men, then turned to say That they couldn’t do the same because they weren’t gay They laughed among themselves, as quite funny don’t you see? That jealousy was that strong to come against what’s meant to be The butcher and the baker then went their separate ways Until they came again to them to cater on their day The moral of this story is to not get blinded by your greed For you may do to others and justify it by a need But truth be known it may backfire and hurt you in a way That may change your orientation by making a straight man gay
