Habeo Laganum, Essum Laganum

Introduction

To think that one so absent minded,
By a ring can be so blinded,
That she undertakes to wed,
To spend forever in one bed.
With love confessed for an old flame,
And passing off the heavy blame.
So here it is, this is the thing,
Here is where she'll feel the sting:

Monogomy

She will now be bound forever,
To a man who loves her so,
But only one man now and ever,
Who would never let her go.
Never can she wander aimless,
To the arms of other men.
Never can she blame the blameless,
As she did time and again.

Now she lies there growing colder,
In a bed shared by one heart.
Beauty fades as she gets older,
Silence tearing her apart.
This is not the dreamlike ending,
That she thought of months ago.
Still to her, all parties bending,
Wishing she would let them go.

Though he loves her he is foolish,
Knowing she won't love one man,
She will never be thought prudish,
She will take whomever she can.
Still the wedding will be pretty,
Still the vows will be affirmed,
Still the speeches will be witty,
Still old flames in her heart burn.
