Marriage

Marriage


Some say marriage
Is a legal constitution
But some married people
Belong in a mental institution

A man wife don’t listen to him
She says he’s very cheap
The only way she pays attention
Is if he talking in his sleep

So he plays a trick on her
Say he got back pay that week
She cooks roti and fry alloo for him
And only kissing him on the cheeks

In marriage you start as a man
Then turns to a boy in time 
The woman takes your pay check
And you can’t go out and lime

A friend told me his girlfriend
Had a  small cute mouth
After they married you could 
Hear her from cocoyea roundabout

All women are magicians
They born with that gift
Can put a man straight down
And then can give him a lift

Men are not magicians
What they is I can’t tell
Some does have a good woman
And still give her hell

Some men get their pay on Friday
Then drink out every cent
While the child don’t any diaper
And the wife can’t pay the rent

Then when he comes home
He asking for rice and duck meat
But he didn’t bring home any money
They have no grocery to eat

 He has a lady in the market
Selling fruits, vegetables, and chive
Every time he goes out with her
He comes home and beat his wife

I hear she leave him and
 Gone by she mother house
The market lady dump him
Now he feeling like a louse

Marriage must build on respect
It’s so important to have
Because with out respect
Your love will start too stave

This is just my little philosophy
That I would like to share
For you young couples
I’m not trying to make you fear

A man has a nice daughter
He wants to fix us up
Boy I start running
Up till today I never stop
