Wedding Bell Blues

The tradition of marriage, Bourgeois blackmail and baggage, Is it all a bargain for men, Is this what white weddings meant? All the love that is lost, And what is the ultimate cost? A divorce court pizza, Magistrate smirks like Mona Lisa, Four corners, one for each, Dog gets the crust, if it can reach, Cats get the anchovies, Were white weddings all for phonies? When is the revolution? Blancmange brides for pollution, Bridesmaids-Little Bo Peeps on crack, Does society cut us some slack? We joined the bourgeoisie, All ends in tears and hypocrisy.
