Are you Married ?
Marriage is a funny affair
A promise to have and to hold
An unsaid vow to care
A simple lie so beautifully told.
I would rather stay alone
Fight the forces that always nag
Get a dog like Luci, one my own
In solitude, in peace, I will lag
I dont need company when I am old
I dont want marriage to make the bloodline flow
I am not greedy for pots of gold
I like this life, a vision in my own kind of glow
My parents wont have to fight the daughter in law
My brothers wife wont have to compete for her share
I will bear this curse, this life of flaw
And the Dog will give me all the love and care
My old age wont be a pain of lonely nights
I wont miss someone I never had
I will travel the world on last minute flights
Be free, be funny, be stark raving mad.
Of the dreams and hopes that I strongly hold
The twists of time seem not to care
As each hand in submission I slowly fold
This game, this life, is definitely not fair
Are you married they ask in mock
I am happily unmarried I tell them all
And as they gape in plain old shock
I walk away, happy until life’s next fall

So long as this is what you want
)
About marraige, you may gently taunt
Still one wonder if the bug of love may bite
And if you were to give in without a fight
To someone, other than someone like Luci
(Shail, be careful, she’d go with him,maybe quiet easy
Will you still say this
And all the action miss?
I wonder
.
Bless you!
I ponder
But surrender
Lest I blunder
For arguments you assunder
With words like thunder
And I’ll hafta look for something to duck under
If this is what you really want
You rhyme awesome!
Grrr… typo .. wonders*
Love has always been taunting me. One too many times. This time I wont fall, I wont let go that easy.
And no action will be missed, for only a fellow traveler will make the cut
Where was this poem when i was getting married :O
you are happy and i am making my blood line flow..and pots of glod( i dont think anyone has that man)
I am going to print it out frame it and present it to you on your wedding which BTW is going to happen no matter what you say cos the married forces will not rest till you become every bit as unhappy as we are
Its a fun poem ..loved it
Amen to the wedding gift you’re going to give Soma
Tito, I have something too
So no bride and 2 gifts ? Can I just have the gifts ? I’ll give both of you a treat. DeaL ???
Its not going to happen. Why doesnt anyone have anything more encouraging to say ?
No deal. 2 gifts free, with one bride, of Tito’s of course
Encouragement enough! Lol.
Noooooooooooooo
Guess I will have to think up another occasion valuable enough for the gifts.
was fun to read the poem and the exchange that followed
– Good one, Tito!
and i couldnt help but add on:
ponder, debate, lash out
and stay happy for real,
notional or otherwise
but this bug does come biting
both the noob and the sagely wise!
i remember, of yore – i did
ramble, and stay happily or unhappily
unmarried as you say..
in it’s own time, it happened
now there’s no looking away
while it lasts enjoy now, for
you will freak out, shake your head
and then as quietly as ever
and unannounced, if you may
the arrow will pierce, will quiver!
i do, i dont, i never will, forever shall
and so many more there’s to say
for now, we say cheers to the soul, single
and for now, cuddle, say hello to the pets
in some, you’ll mingle, we’ll chorus the jingle
Wow, nice to see this gets so many people to write in verse.. Thanks David.
Guess thats all thats left to do, enjoy it while it lasts
