My Sister's Folly...
My sister sent me an e-mail today,
And told me she’s getting married;
I wasn’t really sure what to say,
It left me a little harried;
You see my sister is only seventeen,
She’s known the guy less than a year;
It’s not that I’m trying to be mean,
But to me it’s not too clear;
It takes a lot to make a marriage work,
Not to mention a place to stay;
Has she gone completely berserk,
This is all way to cliché;
Both of them are still in school,
And neither of them have a job;
It’s not really my place to be cruel,
But my temple’s are starting to throb;
I’m not really sure what to do here,
Should I just sit back and observe?
Would telling the parents be too severe?
Or is it no more than she deserves?
