For better or worse
I can’t get any better
She can’t get any worse
Is it any wonder therefore
Why married couples divorce?
When the joy of sex
Is replaced by endless work
Daily irritants, impatience, and quirks
Grins and giggles with smug smirks
Compliments and praises with angry faces
Tenderness and kindness with foul cruelty
Blessings replaced with bitter cursing
Sacrifice and sincerity with selfishness
Peace and serenity with utter insanity
Manipulation, control, and intimidation
Become the reproachable order of the day
As femininity digresses to degradation
Anger, rage, and revolt leading to alienation
The self enthroned princess on her lofty high horse
Enamored with her own perfection and self-exaltation
Emotional fluctuation and endless erroneous presumption
No matter the festive season, rude rhyme, or rigid reason
Marriage undoubtedly is not for boys, neither is it for wimps
All females have their own unique skillful bag of tricks
To seduce, snag, snare, sway, and break a man
Yet as for me I cannot succumb to such domination
Neither can I be brought under by hurtful rejection
Though I be undermined, my soul remains sublime
Emasculation I shall not embrace any moment in time
For I love me, myself, & I and can be perfectly fine.
With or without my nagging, complaining wife
Of course she too could make do without me
My imperfections and her accusations about how
I am so messy, though I think myself to be quite tidy
Nevertheless with a perfectionist one always falls short
Therefore this devilish notion of divorce
By reason of irreconcilable differences
We shall continue to ponder and court
While of each other we make vile sport.
Marriage - For Better Or Worse?
