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

    Written with great sensitivity and love - a tribute to a great couple.

    • FredPeyer

      Aww, thanks Michael. I just wanted it to be funny. But I guess I cannot deny my love for my better half, even if I do have to confess my sins! 🙂

      Good write Fred. Meanwhile, with my KP 'wedding' I'm having anything but matrimonial bliss! I got me ball and chain on. It will never be removed, cos she has the key to the chain! lol.

      • FredPeyer

        Thanks orchi, I did not know they had chastity belts for guys! Maybe KP was around way back when, seeing you as a knight, and fell in love with you right then and there. And that is where she got the belt from.

      • Goldfinch60

        May your Church be filled with love and light. Good write.

        • FredPeyer

          It is, it is, Goldfinch, thank you very much. The only dark days are the confession days, but I'll live!

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Brilliant FRED a perfect analogy ~ although I speak from ANTICIPATION ~ not EXPERIENCE ! However your Poem perfectly mirrors my observation of my parents when I was domiciled for 18 carefree years ! Please check my tribute to ANGELA ON A BEACH ~ BRIAN

          • FredPeyer

            Thanks so much Brian, will do!

            • FredPeyer

              Thank you Christina! Well, I did say 'I do', so I might as well hang in there!!!

            • Louis Gibbs

              Yes, I used to belong to that church, and remember those services well. Cute poem on a fine marriage, Fred! You are a fortunate man.

              • FredPeyer

                Thanks Louis, and yes, i do consider myself fortunate. The next goal is the 50th anniversary!

                • Louis Gibbs

                  Wow! I never made one past 23rd.

                  • FredPeyer

                    Hey, what is not can still be!

                    • Louis Gibbs

                      Hell, I can't afford another wife after dividing the pie three times. That leaves one with but one-eighth of a pie!

                          Welcome

                        • lasergraph

                          Great write and I could identify with a lot of this in my own worship routine.

                          • FredPeyer

                            Thanks lasergraph, I guess our churches homes are all different, but we do belong to the same matrimonial bliss religion!

                          • myself and me

                            What a blessing.

                            • FredPeyer

                              Thanks m&m, the poem may be funny, but I know that I am seriously blessed having found her and that she decided to stick around.

                            • rrodriguez

                              Fred, this is indeed a well and thoughtful poem. Enjoyed it. I had a smile as I read it.

                                Thanks so much, rr! Putting a smile on your face is great, couldn't ask for more!
