The Reality of Married Life
By Elton Camp
An idealized view of marriage causes creation
For young folks of an impossible expectation
That all will be lovey-dovey for day after day
And that it will always stay just that same way
When the initial shine wears off the marriage bed,
It’s then that stark reality will raise its ugly head
Taking the place of constant “I love you” to say,
There are the rent, food, car and other bills to pay
No matter how much you call each other “Honey,”
There will often be too much month for the money
Even the most careful budget can be extraneous
Due to that category that we call “miscellaneous”
And then neither of you another factor truly saw
That is the presence of the critical mother-in-law
“You aren’t good enough for my son or daughter.
To have married much better is what they oughter.”
And then when things are going more your way,
One of the couple will get a pink slip some day
Or maybe the two bears will come to be the three
And you learn that babies are far from being free
Marriage includes much mundane stuff, by gosh
Cleaning, mowing and clothes and dishes to wash
When hubby comes home, he hasn’t got a doubt
That first he’ll hear, “Honey, take the garbage out.”
