Michelle Smith Poet Rhyme

Anti-Vow of Modern Man

I'll marry you, for health and wealth
but not till you're old and gray...

(I'm not opposed to leaving you
for a younger woman someday...)

Don't be surprised, my pet
afterall WE didn't wait

So obviously marriage is not
necessary to conjugate

You believed we were besties
but don't be fooled my dear

Now you are my lust object
or I'll tell everyone you're *****

Now do most the at-home work
and go work outside it too

Money is much more important
than whether you're content or blue

Go ahead and raise the kids
going to church, and praying

But you knew when you married me
I'm not into all that! (Just saying!)

To me, marriage is just a deal
not a holy Sacrament

Guess that means you could annul
if I misunderstood what it meant
