Marriage Views

Men will say of matrimony
“Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free”
While women say of marriage
“Why buy the whole pig just to get a little sausage”

A Love Game

The game of love
Unlike others that might
Is never called off
On account of bad light

Miss Right

I've been searching all my life
For Miss Right to be my wife
At last I find the one, I think
I’m wed before I’ve time to blink
Alas, regret for all my days
For her first name is always

Trouble and Strife

I've often wanted to drown my troubles
Loose them in the foaming bubbles
But alas my chances are dimming
As I can't get my wife to go swimming

She Wood

If a man is stood
Talking in a wood
Only to himself
And no one else
His wife is not near
And so cannot hear
So if he is stood
Talking in a wood
Out of the throng
Is he still wrong?
