When words are said and love does leave,
No matter the cost it does deceive.
Love, then, has fallen upon hard times,
You are left to yourself and your rhymes.
Is it true most men understand this?
In time all will crumble; this love's bliss.
And while the woman will wail and moan,
They really can't believe love has flown.
Our genders give each our marching orders,
In divorce court bring your tape recorder.

Alright, after hearing all week how I should smile more... and not living up to it very well, this one got a downright good chuckle out of me.  I'm with you 100% on the sardonics.  Indeed, all will crumble.
