In Praise of Polygamy

In Praise of Polygamy By Elton Camp It’s not in the basic nature of a male To limit himself to only one female If, to be friendly, she doesn’t care It’s a good idea if he has a spare An idea that men like even more Is if he has on hand three or four One wife can be doing the cooking While another is getting good looking An outside job each wife can hold Hand over her salary as she’s told Multiple wives will do everything To ensure hubby lives like a king Built-in competition is really good To make a wife do as she should Polygamy can be a positive delight So wrong for law to say it isn’t right Since gay marriage states now approve To legalize polygamy it would behoove

Thanks for reading and for your fun comment. I think it would be only reasonable that polyandry would also be allowed. Elton
