A Not-So-Secret Elopement
by @tommy-johnson
The drifter and the comely young women who gleamed with charisma walk passed the rabble-rousers on their way to tie the knot
The rabble-rousers cheer, tossing out superlatives, praising their oncoming matrimony
The young woman is chomping at the bit to finally settle down
The drifter is on the same boat, he can't keep living the life of a rolling stone
He's gonna give the married life a whirl
She has her dress in a brown paper bag and he has on the shiniest cuff links this side of the Pacific
Some say they just portrayed a happy couple
But behind closed doors they had hidden intentions
But I'd wager that they truly loved each other
But my my opinion is superfluous, they know in their hearts what they're doing is right
So they got that going for them
They make their way to the eunuch who is set to marry the two
Until they are ambushed by pinheads with the gift of gab and know it all's who know nothing but still try to talk out of their asses even though their heads are already wedged tightly up them already
Egregious questions and tauntings of habitual bullshitters
What was God thinking during their creation?
Good thing the worst of them all has been tarred and feather and ran out of town on a rail, or so I've been told
They finally reach their destination and say their vows right off their cuffs
Say I do, kiss with just me in attendance
And leave all these sheep all these irritants behind
And embark on their new life together
