Not-So Stepmom Blues
I admit I've the blues
I swear this is true
Mother of one
Stepmom to none.
But a lover I am
To three children's father
Engagement whatever
Legally doesn't matter.
Marriage counts
In the courts they say
My opinions don't
Until my wedding day.
Even then I'm told
A difference it won't make
To one who's heart
Remains locked away.
Shunted if I do
Shunned if not
Thus why I've got
The not-so stepmom blues.
