M.A.R.R.I.A.G.E.--a Valentine's Day Poem by Naomi Elana Zener

Monotony of monogamy, you say? Not for us!

Asshole! Fight fair? Ha! Fights without fuss.  

Regret. Resent. Relent. A relationship endured.

Rinse and repeat: life with children--we've matured.

I love you my darling. I do, I do,  in spite of it all, we're stronger.

Ailments of genitalia--thanks marriage--a concern no longer. 

Geriatric together with dentures we will one day be. 

Excitement is wedlock. Sex? No thanks, let's watch TV.
