The very reverend James Somerville once sniffed
And spoke of his anguish
That the idea of marriage was being eroded
Without the understanding
Of what the institution meant.
He said his book was beyond dispute
About this issue
And he could speak
With confidence
That he was right
When he said that
Love was not the most important thing.
God had a plan
And
That plan involved
Men and women
Not
Men and men
Or
Women and women
Two become one
On an alter of their choice
And declare that love
Before family, friends and folks
Forever.
Marraige.
James.
