Hymeneal Duo

Sometimes love and tragedy overlap    
as when by death does matrimony part    
often adding another handicap    
to vex a forlorn or quixotic heart.    
   
But clocks march forth for good and ill alike    
and fine husbandry is never exempt    
from the luxury snuffing thunderstrike    
proven to show macrocosmic contempt    
for mercy, merriment, and love unbound,    
and likewise sentiments of good will done  
to make heaven on Earth routinely found    
by the ever-lovin marital ton!    
   
A greater payoff than any Lotto...    
with Eden less a garden than a grotto!
