Marriage

Will you marry me?
will you dare to grow?
Right-straight out of school, the way they want it to go?
Will you marry me?
Will you bind yourself in twine?
a pretty parcel that can be all mine?
I'll get down on one knee, promise to be good
hand you a ring, just like a should.
Will you marry me?
Will you say "I do"?
exit down the aisle, with the music as our cue?
When the car finally leaves, with crowds behind
I can only wish, this deal was not signed.

(sorry, it rhymes...Ms Koch would explode)

  1. I love this poem for its simplicity. It says a lot about issues of societal expectations and dreams. And the rhyme is great! The 'pretty parcel' image is neat!
