So they’re marrying – being united.
Well I must say that I’m not excited.
So I’ll think of a way
To be busy that day.
(Though I probably won’t be invited.)

I don’t care what you say – this is weird.
Groom’s clean shaven, the bride has a beard
And moustache – they embrace,
And then kiss – off I race;
This is really much worse than I’d feared!

Australian poet, Australian same-sex marriage vote, Gay marriage, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

Your nation’s in trouble I’d say,
When 6 out of 10 think that gay
Marriage is great;
“It’s equality mate!”
For “equality” we’re gonna pay.

They’re soon to be married I hear.
Strange nuptials are drawing near.
With values inverted,
What’s now thought perverted?
Being straight may be soon being queer.

It’s himself…. and himself….

Gay marriage, Irish gay marriage referendum, limerick, poem, poetry

In old Ireland the yes vote was carried,
And the naysayers’ points, they were parried.
Now Seamus and Paddy
Can be Pa and Daddy;
’tis queer, to be sure, to be married.
