My advice on marriage

Recently a friend of mine got married. A couple of weeks back, he and his wife invited us for dinner. I wrote this poem for that occasion.

They say if love is like a dream

Then marriage is a wake up call

Take my advice: turn on the snooze

And let the dream go on...

They say if love makes the world go round

Then marriage gives you motion sickness

Take my advice: fasten your seat belt

And get ready for this roller coaster pace...

They say a marriage is a promise

Of a lifetime of togetherness

Take my advice: get away often

And stick to each other a lil less..

They say in a marriage

Never go to bed mad at night

Take my advice: stay up till dawn

And finish up your fight..

They say marriage is easy

But housekeeping is hard

Take my advice: hire a maid

And a billion quarrels will retard..

I've been married for some time now

And it's still a big mystery

Take my advice: do what you enjoy together

And don't listen to me!
