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
