Weddings of pomp and ceremony
~ lead to higher alimony
rivers flow
where water goes
stars abide
within our skies
birds fly
until wings go awry
dogs bark
at sounds in the dark
clouds form
before a storm
accidents can happen
when you play with dragons
hearts race
when they run to first base
those we trust
should not be the unjust
increasing fear
goes mouth to ear
self-deprecation
often causes vexation
very easy to deceive
when people want to believe
love blooms
creating new bridegrooms
enemy of the same
the process of change
random is
as randomness does
You old demon, you pretty angel Satan
"Lucifer"
I won't get in bed with you I shalt not kiss you
for you're mind
Never shall I dance with you
Never will I bond with you
You're a trickster and a fake
I won't kiss you
No will I miss you
When you're chained up
for I shall not kiss Satan while I'm waitin for the savior!
For you see my bridegrooms
He comes for me soon
and I must have my lanterns full
I'll save the last dance
for I shall not kiss Satan while I'm waitin for the savior!
For the one whom hold me dear
For it's in Him and only Him
Whom I'll embrace and call Him (Lord)
I'll kiss the Father, for He is the Father
Lord o'ver all
for I shall not kiss Satan while I'm waitin for the savior!
And each and every heavenly
Shall be wed with the one and only, holy almighty
AMEN
and again AMEN
for I shall not kiss Satan while I'm waitin for the savior!
So you ole demon "Lucifer" Satan git thee behind me
I rebuke you and this is the last time I'll same AMEN

I The non-handsome Faithful Man
Are You The Woman That'll Give Me Your Hand
Where is the one;
Where is just the one
Who will hold my hand
To me I'm not a handsome man
But yet I am
A wholesome and faithful man
A sinner saved by grace
And I'll never with intent disrespect
A woman whom would honor me
With Godly matrimony
I will be spiritually, physically only
Connected to you my chosen
Now consider to be holden and also chosen also me
Could you love one such as me
Remember I'm not perfect the only perfect one is God
But I'll be delighted
If you allow me to be your knight in shining
For you are the one
To be my forever darling
Yeah!, I know low self-esteem I'm not that charming
But I'll be ever faithful, and not a adulter but at just lover
Just you and I
Sharing you only with the Father
On loan to each other
Until the spiritual bridegrooms comes
Until then, think you could love a one such as I
For I am alone, but not lonely
Consider me the non-handsome faithful man
Are you the woman that'll give me your hand

She is not a joker in the business
the wholesale trade she runs prudently
weaving flouting lies into fine truth
and established truth into open deceit
Her feet always points towards salons
market places she does not miss a day
those are the places wealthy and teeming
with raw materials for weaving articles
Many families cry with their hands on mouth
children often ask, “Mama why divorce?”
shops have been looted and burned down
and brides fall apart with their bridegrooms
The weaver does not rest on her wooden bed
till the textile of lies are finished and sold
Limerick : Once ***** Duke insisted on Serf Thigh rights
Once ***** Duke insisted on Serf Thigh rights*
So bridegrooms replaced brides on first nights:
Droit de cuissage* then free
Duchess claimed repartee –
Since newly-weds rush to castle in tights!
• In European feudal societies during the Middle Ages and thereafter
in succeeding centuries, it is thought that
the Lord of the Manor or Seigneur of the Serfdom arrogated for himself
the Droit de cuissage, i.e. the right to sleep with the bride of a serf on
the wedding night.
