10-10-10

10-10-10

people rush to the altar
trying to achieve zen,

Hoping for a magical spell,
to quench the outbreak of
D-i-v-o-r-c-e,

Overlooking the error
of marring the wrong person,

They drag their mates to the altar 
like venison,

It could be mannequin reciting vows
to each other,
but no one has time for intricate details
or bothers,
10-10-10 will never come again!!

For some, it's now or never,
So, they go valiantly into the 
10-10-10 spiral,
hoping and praying that their plunge goes viral.
