Marriage:  I do, I get to

By Norman Jones



I get to have a depleted appetite

I do weights to avoid family fights

My wife is a full packaged fox

I’ve housed enough pets to fill Fort Knox

I do dishes and laundry

So I don’t go hungry.



I get to provide for my spouse’s kids

Use to have a patented polishing gig

My stay at Camp Le jeune, made me sterile

Poetry is my outlet and so is the comic book world

I’m delivered from alcohol and smoking trees

I also contracted degenerating joint disease



I get to take out the household trash

I do have a major arthritis in my back

I get to empty and secure my pet’s crap

I also get to regulate some of the cash

My life is somewhat serene

Because I once served as a Marine.
