In these days of rapidly-spreading same-sex marriages,
when same-sex partners even push baby carriages,
it can be an advantage for a man to have a name like Sue,
BECAUSE if he loves another guy, and they decide to say 'I do', ……
AND the 'guy's' parents are a little leery of their son's choice,
[even though, that-their-son-has-finally-'found love', they do rejoice],
THEN, at the reception, after the father starts his speech: 'How do you do? ',
'Dad' can follow with the one-liner: 'At least our son-in-law's NAME is Sue.'

I understand you, Bri. when 'guy's' parents are a little leery of their son's choice. It's a pity, the life ain't easy for a boy named Sue. I have some of the poems by Shel Silverstein translated into the Russian. I'll probably try to translate this one. The only problem it's too long.
Nice poem Bri as always your poem makes me smile. Well about voting for you one question.What's in it for me?

You've got it wrong, Bri! His name's not Sue- That's his motto- he's an ambulance-chasing attorney!

I would like to translate this poem
I see NOW that the last stanza is a bit difficult for some to understand (I'm sure!) , partly because I screwed up some wording in line two of last stanza, and partly..... ;)
