The Propositions of a Married Man

Its been two months since we got wed,

Its better now than never, instead,

To ask you if you'd always be,

The butter on my bread.

If I build castles in the air,

Will you feed the crocodiles of the moat?

And if I go whaling to the lake,

Will you promise not to rock the boat?

And in return, I promise to

swing along wherever your mood takes you.

And to always love you the same (if not more)

as the day when I first met you.

Without much ado, let me propose

to be with you, through joys and woes.

And walk with you through sun and rain,

wherever our destiny goes.
