nice nite in june
I can't seem to find the original source for this poem titled Nice Nite in June, but it was an amusing and sad-but-true snapshot of modern relationships.
Nice nite in June,
Stars shine, big moon.
In park, on bench,
With gal, in clinch.
Me say me love,
She coo like dove.
Me smart, me fast,
Never let chance pass.
"Get hitched," me say.
She say, "Okay."
Wedding bells, ring, ring,
Honeymoon, everything.
Happy man, happy wife,
Best time in life!
'Nother nite in June,
Stars shine, big moon.
Ain't happy no more,
Carry baby, walk floor.
Wife fuss and scream,
Me yell, get mean.
Wife sad, me mad,
Everything go bad.
Nagging wife, bawling brat,
Life one big spat.
Me realize at last,
Me just too fast!
Dr. John Van Epp read the poem in a video I saw of one of his seminars on How to Avoid Marrying a Jerk (or Jerkette) - check out excerpts from his book at http://nojerks.com/index.php?page=Excerpts.
"Don't spend months preparing for a wedding that will last an hour, and neglect to prepare for a marriage that is to last a lifetime."

ReplyDeleteIf you'd like to see another viewpoint of what modern relationships are becoming, Professor Michael Wesch does a very good "Anthropological Intro to Youtube" presented to the Library of Congress in 2008. You can view it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPAO-lZ4_hU
(note: it's an hour long)
