Marry me!
I am a worthless man
With a raging sex drive.
Like the great French
Of the past ages -
I don’t bathe.
Marry me!
I work at McDonald’s
Two days a week.
I love Blink 182.
Or would you marry me
If I said this:
Marry me!
I gave Florence Nightingale
One of my kidneys.
I was the inspiration
For James Tate’s
The Oblivion Ha-Ha.
I delivered mail to the
Gettysburg Address.
I gave Anthony Hopkins
His penchant for warm tea.
So now you see it.
Through the ages
Good and bad men have found mates.
Marriage is a wonderful coat.
That keeps warm
The one who puts it on.
