Funerals And Weddings

Funerals And Weddings by Neil McCall

Funerals and weddings sombre me;
choices made till death us do part
and then one day it does.

Funerals and weddings disturb me;
God invoked in the afternoon
like a good-luck lizard.

Funerals and weddings arouse me;
give me a cuddle for comfort
or dance with me for joy.

I'll brush down my dusty dark suit
while you wriggle into black tights
and don a silly hat

then tonight we'll shag thankfully;
once for being married
and once for being alive.
