Best Old Ball And Chain Poems
Milo Minderbinder, IIIOh, you’re a club-tie glad-hand social climber
If e'er there were one, Milo Minderbinder
A meticulous craft, your quest for domination
Your smile so bowed, so proud of your lofty station
Your well-known carnival of carnal knowledge
A cornucopia of knowing carnage
The next home remodel, a newer, younger model
stole into...

Ball and Chainwell, there you go, sweetheart;
i have done it at last -
the unthinkable, the reckless, the bold
and possibly suicidal thing...
i have gritted my teeth and hurled myself out into the
void,
into all those endless miles of frigid soul-sucking vacuum
that stretch, echoing,...

Camping and FishingCovered in muck, dust, dirt and filth,
The rods were pulled from the shed,
Brought inside, through the kitchen,
And laid all over the bed.
And the tackle box was emptied of hooks and sinkers,
Old lures, old bobs, and line,
Then the esky got emptied of the last camping...

she wasn't quite the same woman,
She returned having dark secrets of her own
secrets that she's not revealing.
Her husband was back in Alabama
having the time of his life,
It was though he'd forgotten
that he even had a wife.
The old ball and chain...

ReconciledAttentively you watch me
for an actual concrete sign
That hope against hope it won't
With your new fear align

has she given up the fight
You show up where I say I will be
watch from the shadows of night
More proof you never bothered to...

Eternal RingGold never ending, left fourth finger ornament
Inscription inside tells the beginning date for the union
God's joining, never severed
Love's symbol placed loving by a joyous December bride
Groom's cake, the old ball and chain, red velvet, looked like a bleeding heart on the table
Friends rejoice at the...

BurdenedI have been touched
Impressed, by you
Have emotions spoken over my logic?
Harsh in tone and impulsive in decision
Never have I known this much confusion
Of matters of the heart,
Let my mind speak before my heart,
Otherwise my eyes will cry before my heart sings
You...
