The Holy Church of Matrimonial Bliss

 

On that fateful day when I said “I do”

I became a member of that church of two

All my money goes to my wife’s collection bowl

Disappearing without a sound down that holy hole

The evening meal is considered a shrine

Where I get to consume some holy wine

A sermon is delivered at least twice a week

With the outlook for me usually rather bleak

And the praying to her never ends

To let me hang out and drink with my friends

But once in a while at various nights

I humbly get to visit my wife’s holy sites

These are the nights you don’t want to miss

Where you partake of the matrimonial bliss

Followed by the day of infinite grace

Confessing my sins with a straight face

We even have church picnics once in a while

Where we congregate, talk, eat, and smile

So you see, my church is at home

No need for a cathedral with golden dome
