Black Wedding

Yes, it was a hot day for a black wedding, I swapped my life for a golden ring, I did not check those sinister omens, As I volunteered to change my cognomen, All our families, garbed in black, Once hitched, there was no turning back, A fateful dark matrimonial, Indeed, a disastrous ceremonial, 'Twas already a dim bleak wedlock, Nuptials in black was a shock, So much for my late spouse, Yelling at me to clean his house, Is biology destiny? I used to ask, Is housework only a woman's task? Once, I swapped my soul for a golden ring, Yes, it was a hot day for a black wedding!! (Tough.)
