MARRIAGE ?

Today we talked about marriage,

what it would really mean....

He didn't propose,

he didn't kneel down

and he didn't have a ring.

He asked for my opinion,

which I honestly gave,

I thought 'he must be stupid'

or 'really rather brave'.

He gave me his opinion

of what marriage would mean to him,

That's when I knew for sure

that he wasn't brave,

it was just that he was dim.

His views were quite old fashioned,

they made me feel quite sick,

because I'd been married once before

to another who was thick.

I could see no benefit

in the deal for me,

seemed like he only wanted a wife

to iron his shirts

and to cook his tea.

I stuck to the truth

the whole way through,

I never started lying,

I  thought it best

to tell the truth,

that I found the whole thing

Terrifying.

I don't think he'll ever ask me again,

of this I am quite sure

because of the look 

that was on his face,

when he left and slammed the door.
