Don't Get Married Poem by Randy McClave

Don't get married if your wild seeds are not sowed
Don't get married just because you're young or old,
And don't get married because all your friends are
And don't ever get married, because of a car.
Don't get married if you're still in school
Don't get married if thinking it makes you mature and cool,
And don't get married if you don't have a job
And don't ever get married because someone did sob.
Don't get married because you hate your home life
Don't get married because you want to be a husband or a wife,
And don't get married because of a child
And don't ever get married because you were defiled.
Don't get married only because you know you can
Don't get married because of a person's wedding plan,
And don't get married because you think that it's all games and fun
And don't ever get married if you're on the run.
Don't get married if you don't have a job
Don't get married because someone did beg you or did sob,
And don't ever get married just because of a threat
And don't get married because of remorse or regret.
Don't get married because you're tired of being alone
Don't get married because you want a family and a home,
And don't get married because of a religion or of a belief
And don't get married because of sadness or grief.
Don't get married just because your parents did
Don't get married because someone did threatened or did forbid,
And don't get married because for marriage someone did shove
But only ever get married, if you are truly and deeply in love.
