words of wisdom that are hard to swallow
With our separation in progress,
I feel the need to digress,
And the subject of marriage address,
Before I leave this address.
I think my conclusion sound,
And not out of bound,
With no need to turn around,
When my wife is around.
When one partner becomes a willing slave,
The other half will one day decide it is time to cave,
And do without a slave every time they want to shave,
Or offer to help help clean up the cave,
Or cook a meal by themselves to give their slave time to rave,
As sooner or later the novelty of having a slave,
That is to busy for time to rave,
Will no longer be something they want to brave,
And if someone more equal in the neighborhood,
too decides it is time to be brave?
So, if you think someone is starting to be your slave,
Be brave,
And let your feelings permeate the cave,
Leaving no room for doubt that your marriage you want to save,
And you want them as your equal in the cave,
As sooner or later there will be no room in your life for a slave,
Even a good looking willing slave.
