Marriage Counsel

Congratulations to Peter and Rebeka Griffin

Marriage is like a meal,
With first of all the soup -
Foretaste of what you're going to feel.
Next stage when, cock-a-hoop,
You pounce upon your prey,
Is known as the entree.

The main course lasts for years;
You'll find there's quite enough,
But it's important that each perseveres
Through tender and through tough;
For after, as a treat,
You'll much enjoy the sweet.

And following this spread
There's coffee, peace, and kind things said
Before you go to bed.
