Dissonance Poem by John Sensele

Marriage and career seldom bury the hatchet
Marriage and career sometimes swim in the same pool
Career a pride of place packs in a packet
Marriage spins a flexible spool.

Marriage undivided attention demands
Career in marriage erects a barrier
Marriage exclusive mining rights commands
Career to tame marriage hires a bull terrier.

Marriage swerves after a while
Career beauty deems unimportant
Marriage arranges brides and their grooms in a smile file
Career competence rates important.

Marriage sprinkles tights and sights
Career conflates mobility and humility
Marriage binds and blinds bliss bites
Career sometimes enhances versatility.
