That's all I Know
I'm getting married in May.
You'd think I'd over over the moon.
Only a few months away,
My life is changing soon.
My single friends lament
The way single friends do
"Maybe I will never find
The right guy to love.
Know anyone single too?"
No, they are all married
with kids already
or they aren't your type.
"Oh."
I'm getting married in May.
My parents lament
The way parents do
"Will you give us grandkids
In the first year or two?"
I don't know.
"You told him you
Don't want kids?"
I told him I don't know.
"Oh."
I'm getting married in May,
My in-laws lament
The way in laws do
I wish my son picked another,
(Picked a Spanish girl instead)
Maybe they didn't say it.
I don't know.
Sólo Dios sabe.
I'm getting married in May.
The bride-to-be laments
The way brides often do
I am too fat.
A size 10 is obese.
Is it obese?
I don't know.
I'm getting married in May.
The Bridezilla laments
The way bridezillas do
making a fuss over Victorian
flower meanings.
Who does that?
A Bridezilla, that's who!
I'm getting married in May.
The groom laments
The way grooms do
Counting down the days
Til he says "I do."
Wait, counting down?
So is he excited
Or full of dread?
I'm getting married in May.
I lament (the way I sometimes do)
Am I truly ready?
I don't know.
What comes next?
Ask me tomorrow.
I don't know.
I'm getting married in May.
That's all I know.
