"I take you,"
I kidnap you from everyone
You're mine, I say!
For we are joined as one.
"To be my lawfully wedded,"
As if we'd be married wrong
We should've agreed to elope
This speech takes far too long.
"I promise to be true to you"
Not that I mean it.
If someone I love more comes along
I'll leave you in a minute.
"In good times and in bad"
I never said tough times
So don't take this seriously
If you'll be so kind.
"In sickness or in health"
I don't care if you're dead
I'll only love you if you're well
Or lying sick in bed.
"And I promise to love and honour you"
Only if you're good.
If you don't work for me
I'll tell you that you should.
"All the days of my life"
Can I take off a year?
Every day is a bit drastic
My sanity is the reason I fear.
"To have and to hold"
This is the good part.
As long as I get the advantage
We're off to a good start.
"From this day forward"
And the rest of your life
Unless you cease to amuse me
And I abandon you out of spite.
"For better or for worse"
Not sure of the meaning of that.
Good, it's almost over anyway
I'm ready for a nap.
"For richer or for poorer"
We'd better not be poor.
If it's because of children
I'm out the door.
"'Til death do us part"
Such a relieving phrase
That means our love can end
When you've no more days.
"I do"
Hurry and say it quickly
Can't you speed it up a little
And just shut up and kiss me?

Damn, you weren't kidding about the depth of your cynicism! This is dark genius here, no question. And yet, in a somewhat disturbing way, this had me laughing! Eve, you and that amazing mind of yours never cease to amaze me.
Keep writing or be attacked by a swarm of wasps,

| Really sarcastic it sounds as if you have first hand experience on the subject. I hope not most of the marriages that I know of have worked out particularly well. My own for example fourty eight years and still going strong. Mind you we did not marry in a church just at the registry office it was all we needed.I myself would have been happy even with the registry office my wife thinks the same smiles from bernard. |
