Marital Rubaiyats

(1) Two lumps of sugar kissed. Locked horns of marriage hissed. Churns lake of better-worse. Ring wins for friendship missed. (2) Ruddy red the roses. Darling, Please let’s cease our trifling quarreling. Rows and rows, of apologies, Bride and groom are gentle guarding.

Two imperfect people come together. Sometimes their will be quarreling but love’s roses will spread as they come together. ((hugs))
