"…… till death do you part? "How often has that been said?
And how many have said "I do", but NOW …. wish THEY were dead;
"they" OR their spouse ……., since their faithful bond has expired?
But a spouse isn't a boss who can just say "You're fired! " …..
and step off by oneself and leave the other behind,
especially if the "other" is ……………. e.g. ill, senile, or blind.
Well, I'm sure it's done, but many would disapprove,
and the one "stepping off" might feel guilty, a feeling hard to remove.
It's just another good reason to ask, be you genius or fool,
"What are the hazards of entering into the marriage-pool? "
