A bit tongue-in-cheek!  Jill

Our Marriage                    by Jill Stockinger

 

If ever two people were meant

to be together, it is us,

so well-matched are we

in repartee, stinging rebukes

and snide asides.

Who else could we marry?

Who else could so ably

exchange, parry for parry, such

sparkling words of withering wit,

deep thrusts of acid denigration,

or catch with glee each other’s

terrible puns? There’s no mystery

to our abiding love; it is clear

we were made for each other.

 

[patti santucci]

Very clever!! And I learned a new word: parry. I like the mirror image of that against marry. You could end on a note, mentioning something about "till death do we part" to maybe go with the deep thrusts of acid denigration and stinging rebukes. You know me, always looking for the macabre.
