Advice For The Marrying Man

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Marriage is not going to be
all kissy-face and patty-fingers
and the nibbling of earlobes.

There will be times when
she will be mad as hell at you.
If not, she's yogurt
and you're a saint.
And there will be times when
she will drive you up a wall.
I hope so, for your sake,
or she or you will be
as exciting as a bowl
of jellyfish.
