Rich Love
By Mystic Rose and Robert James Liguori
The rich lovers did everything together,
dressed in expensive matching clothes from
"Little Owl Boutique";
two nouveau riche of New York marrying each other
wearing an exquisite collection
of plumes, feathers and little flowered heathers.
The guests sat in their velvet seats and watched
as Marie Claire and Jean D'Archaud read the words
typed on an old Corona typewriter designed for two:
For richer or for poorer I will marry you today,
and love you forever for I am here to stay.
"Imagine if we lost everything?", she tentatively asked.
"Then we'd trade the lobster for mac and cheese.", he said.
"And if we went from riches to rags, would you love me then?"
"We'd still be serene, ain't love forever?", he said with a smile.
For richer or for poorer I will marry you today,
and love you forever for I am here to stay!
