Sunday Haiku (wedding talk)
Sunday, June 11th, 2006My pal, the bastard
Marrying his girl this week
Out on the west coast
Got me to thinkin’
“Its just a piece of paper”
What I’ve always said
But lots of things are.
Paper all over the place,
Like my calendar.
The constitution,
Magna Carta, all paper.
Treaty of Versailles.
I married my wife
Because I had the day off
And it sounded good
Her being pregnant
Only had a bit to do
With us getting hitched
As I get older
I think maybe I was wrong
Its more than paper
So, happy wedding
But because I’m a cheapskate
This is your present.
Some present, huh?
