"Marriage, My Friends, is Like a Hot Bath"

Marriage, my friends, is like a hot bath --
It looks and it feels so inviting.
You can't wait to soak from your head to your toes
since it looks to be warm and exciting!
You're naked, my friends, and the bubbles entice
as you yearn for that warm cozy feeling...
of water so hot that it makes you feel nice
as it sends your head off to the ceiling!

But when you get in it, it isn't so hot --
in fact the hot wears off quite quickly!
And if you stay in it too long, my dear friends,
you'll find that it makes you feel sickly.
The water sits there in the bath while you soak
and the soap suds with magnet attractions
grab dirt and debris that will sit on the top
of the surface and wait for reactions....

Your skin can break out if you stay there too long
while the water stagnates like a sewer.
You'll lie there and wonder if you can get out
and you'll want a hot bath that's much newer.
Yep, marriage, my friends, is a bath in the tub
and you'd better think twice while it's running...
'cause if you decide to jump in and to soak,
you'll find the hot water quite cunning.

When thinking of marriage, please think of your bath
and think twice 'fore heading for soaking.
'Cause marriage, I tell you, is like a hot bath.
It ain't all that hot! I ain't joking!

I for one liked your verse
It was rather funny
But let me be the first
I’m glad you said it, not me.

If your wife sees this
And believe me, she will
She will really be p*****
She’ll be ready to kill

Then, You will know what “hot “
In hot bath really means
She'll claim you don’t know squat
They don’t see humor, it seems

naked-

The message here's not negative.
I only write the facts!
No luke warm or no cold will do
For me, since marriage lacks
The luster and the lust some have
Before they tie the not!!!!
I guess, for some, it's fine, but as
For me, I like it HOT!!!

hehe, just me, Justin T.

Melton-

You've got it wrong, my friend.
She won't be reading here!
I booted her right out the door
I didn't want her near!
The woman was a NUTCASE,
She would drive me up the wall.
Imagine being nagged and dodging dishes
While she lied there in a sprawl
With chocolates and mags from hollywood strewn everywhere!
She made me go ballistic
When she'd get that vacant stare!
The valium just did her in,
It turned her to a loon.
And frankly, she would lie to me
About her afternoon!
She'd tell me that she cleaned the house
While I tripped over wrappers
Of candy on the carpet!
And the overflowing crappers
Because she'd flush down who knows what,
That made me go insane!
I ended up inside the 'stute
Where they picked at my brain!
They zapped me with these instruments,
They poked me everywhere!
They wanted my lobotomy,
So I ran out of there!
I broke right out! I flew the coop!
Ten years I spent in vain.
She stole my life! She was a loon!
Then they called ME insane!!!?!?!?!
So if she is somewhere out there
In cyberspace, my friend.
I hope she reads this, yes I do,
Then reads it once again!

hahahahahahahahahaha
heheheheheheeeeeee

HEY!!!! catalina!!!!

Thanks! You know what they say, don't you? Experience breeds stupid poetry or if you want to write about life, just pick up an ink pen amd find a brown paper bag somewhere that someone hasn't wiped the floor with, or if you can't laugh, you might as well just laugh about it.

Right?

hehe

Thanks, Miss Temptress

I was hoping it would be a reasonably accurate analogy.

Soak it.

Is this why so many people recommend cold showers? LOL. This is great, Justin... enjoyed it much.
