In-Laws

as the case my be,
many in-laws or out-laws,
relatives of flaws…
~
 at the least, no peace,
cause of marriage mating-pause,
 epic dysfunctions…
~
erections of rules,
needed fool, not Viagra…
marriage is stagnate!

Hi John- Thanks for comments on my Out Law in Law poem--appreciate your remarks. I like the relative of flaws line. Epic dysfunctions coins the emotions just perfectly. I am blessed to have super kind in laws-only 2 of them are living and they mean the world to me. It's just easier to enjoy this play on words for Dr. Ram's contest. Happy Memorial Day to you, Gwendolen
