Readings for the Marriage Service

Poem 13

I know every bump, every bulge, every wrinkle.
Every sag, every bag, every scar, every flaw, every whisker.
I know that you fleck the bathroom tiles with soap,
That you flood the bathroom floor with bath water,
That you never take your plate out to the sink,
That you scatter your clothes,
That you forget to change your socks,
That you tell me the endings of detective stories,
That you track mud through the house,
That you never remember to pay the bills.
I know your eccentricities, your prejudices, your moods.
And somehow,

for some reason I can never fully understand,
I am crazy with love for you.

Poem 14

Yes I'll marry you my dear and here's the reason why.
So I can push you out of bed when the baby starts to cry.
And if we hear a knocking and it's creepy and it's late,
I hand you the torch, you see, and you investigate.

Yes I'll marry you my dear, you may not comprehend it,
But when the tumble dryer goes, it's you that has to mend it.
You have to face the neighbour should our Labrador attack him,
And if a drunkard fondles me, it's you that has to whack him!

Yes I'll marry you my dear, you're virile and you're clean.
My house is like a pigsty, you can help to keep it clean.
That sexy little dinner which you served by candlelight,
As I only do chipolatas, you can cook it every night.

It's you that has to work the drill and put up curtain track
And when I've got the PMT, it's you who gets the flak.
I do see great advantages, but none of them for you,
And so before you see the light ..... 
I do, I do, I do !!
