Can some sensible soul spell out
the reality of matrimony?
Is it a comfortable contract signed for cozy safety,
Or a cosmic covenant of cherished dreams?
Is it a buggy business bargain that's ice-cold,
Or a fleeting, frantic madness, neatly packaged and sold?

Why do brainless fools bet on this high-stakes gamble?
Do they crave the thrill of rolling loaded dice,
Only to sigh and sob after their choices slice?

where mates slowly decay,
As their dignified pride is squandered
and peace cast away.
Yet despite the damage and dire danger,
Why is this ancient, awful trap
wildly embraced with glee?
