A One-Trick Misogynist; or, Once Wed, One's Dead

Needles and pins, putti and djinns
once a man marries, more madness begins.
Brujas and wives, machetes and knives: 
once a dude says "I do!" anguish arrives.

Blood, sweat and tears, jeers and Bronx cheers: 
once a cat couples, his heartache appears.
Vodka and gin, misdeeds and sin: 
once a gent ties the knot, toxins kick in.

Kidneys and heart, stop and restart: 
once a man couples, his world comes apart. 

Ambush, delay, abandon, betray: 

once he espouses, he rouses decay.  

 

Foxes and minks, prisons and clinks:  

once a man gives a ring, everything stinks. 

Chestnut, cliché, chagrin and dismay:  

once he cojoins, a man’s loins waste away.  

 

Argil and clay, tinctures of grey:  

once a man mingles, he singles can’t play. 

Strumpet and whore, reprimand and what for:  

once a man bonds, he ash blondes must ignore.  

 

Pimp and procure, entice and allure:  

once a man melds, he’s a gelding for sure. 

Exacting, austere, forbidding, severe:  

once he unites, a man’s rights disappear. 


Advents and Lents, play money, pence:
once a bloke walks that aisle, stresses commence.
Bishops and pawns, scallops and prawns: 
once a lad plights his troth, oath swearing dawns.

Cortèges and dirges, bloodbaths and purges: 
once a chap dons the yoke, mis'ry emerges.
Blinders 'n' reins, deadbolts and chains:
once he's divorced, though, he Eden regains.

Room For One More...?

Is there  room on Mt. Rushmore  for  Donald...?  Should its quartet of  dudes  make some space...? Is there room on Mt. Rushmore  for Donald...
