Now marriage is so popular
They give a universal name
To those who are quite similar—
(Who really are in fact the same.)
It used to be that Jack and Jill
Who’d marry, upon being wed,
Did what so ever was their will
Once they, together, got in bed.
Now none needs to discriminate
By gender if they would agree
Whomever they select for mate
Of gender both the same may be.
If Jack and Joe or Jules and Jim
Or Jacqueline loves Jennifer
A match is made of him with him
The same as was of him with her;
Which is the democratic way
Of equalizing partners, so
No matter who is straight or gay
Nobody marriage need forgo.
And, given everybody can
Do what they want it’s possible
Camellia can marry Anne
Or Josephine can marry Jill;
Since same-sex marriage benefits
Both gender and transgender too
Nobody has to strain their wits
With what they can or cannot do.
A woman recently became
The partner of her lifelong pet,
A dog (of sex that was the same)
To make an interspecies set,
And that is taking things as far
As we may, for the moment, go
Considering that’s where we are
There’s no telling what will be so
Once we have gotten used to how
These metamorphoses take root,
Whatever the law will allow
Of matrimony with a brute
Man’s domination over beast
Or bird won’t matter anymore
If difference between has ceased
No one will know what sex is for;
That goes to show “what’s in a name”
Does matter—and what people call
A marriage between who’s the same
Might, in the end, undo us all.
