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.
