The Sunday Poem/Song: The Married Life

OK, people are on my case about being late with the Sunday Poem, so I had better post something despite the fact that I am wrestling with site load. I am unsure what that means in terms of popularity of the Sunday Poem, since it’s only two people. But hey, two is better than zero. So even if I post the Sunday Poem, odds are it won’t increase load too much. 🙂

This is actually a song lyric. I don’t have a recording of the song handy, so you will just have to come to a jam session sometime if you want to hear it.

Married Life

You fell in love and you signed the papers
And moved home to annoy the neighbors
And it was good, just fine, living the married life
No kids yet, but what’s the hurry?
They just mean you have to worry
That’s no good, no time in the married life

And you’re job hunting with lousy luck
And if you find one, you’ll only have to grow up
That good? Yeah, fine. Living the married life.

So you figure, time to buy a cat
Soon it rules the roost and you don’t mean squat
That’s good, fine, living the married life
And this cat it’s always breaking crockery
Breaks her cookie jar and the fight it comes a-knockin’
So much for that so fine married life

Yessir, sometimes it’s all hell and goddamn
Then you snuggle and do things that would shock her daddy
And that’s REALLY GOOD, mm hmmm, ah, married life

You fell in love and you signed the papers
And moved home to annoy the neighbors
And it was good, just fine, living the married life

Yeah sometimes, it really sucks
Other times it’s the greatest, er, luck
And that’s good, fine, in the married life

The married life
