"Love"

Diamonds are for those who are greedy.

Just one could feed the needy,

instead, a false symbol of love,

from a man who’s seedy,

or a woman who’s eyes are beady.

She wants a dress and he’ll digress

but she’ll press him for more on

her day of success. He’ll confess

he’s not that bothered, yet to no end,

he’ll impress her family and friends.

He’s told her a million times

yet the sound of wedding bells

chimes, and the singing of religious

rhymes makes her want even more

to be in her prime.

So they’ll party through the night

to his new bride’s delight,

and on paper it tells her

that she is exclusively his

so off on a glorious honeymoon they whizz.

And now it’s his turn to demand,

so he waves his hand like a wand.

Off comes the garter, seductively

he courts her, and she gets in the bed.

And afterwards, he’ll kiss her head.

They follow life’s calling

their sexy fun brawling, ends up in

crawling small legs around the

house. Something so small, like a

mouse, makes noise with all its toys.

Then they grow tired, and old,

he thinks his moves were way too bold,

she’s wired on caffeine to care for the child.

The coal is no longer fired, and he regrets to

find out he’s here ‘til retired.
