Same Last Name

Same Last Name

Being married seems like such a great game
Maybe because we both have same last name
Which really is a warped word to the wise
In cemetery we are both easy to recognize.

To many facts I so often have been resigned
When I woke up with this poem on my mind
Then wrote down after thinking about it a lot
Down to last sentence that ended with a dot.

Things start with beginnings to reach an end
And it all goes to show you and does depend
Longer you live while loving will not regret
The great time had after you two first met.

Marriages will reach an end after we die
And no matter how hard we try and try
More your desires and hopes start to match
You know you ended up with a perfect catch.
