Vows

Dearly Beloved, Do you take this member? Both hard and limp Whether he’s a stud or a wimp? Either flaccid or erect Honor and obey Your supposed to reflect What is the reason You wish to get hitched? Afraid of being rejected? And possibly ditched? A contract with a clause To help you when you pause Give me half So says our laws I loved you before But that was then Now that your broke You’re simply a has been I find it funny that Your emotions Reflect a price We used to smile And you were nice But time has eroded Our happiness and joy Was your affection just a ploy? Anyone married Knows the game I love you and need you But you drive me insane Marriage they say is an institution But when it goes wrong You suffer retribution It’s better to be single And remain in peace Then to put your heart on a lease Eric (and sometimes not)
