Talking Her Down

Don’t wed that fool.
He’s still in school.
You’ll work to pay his loan.
His head’s too big,
his eyes too small.
And listen to his tone.
He’s mister smart.
He’s mister right.
He’s got just every answer.
You’d think that
he has done something:
found god, cured aids or cancer.
So back it off
and slow it down.
Make sure that he’s the one.
You’ll be enchained
for all your life.
Now is the time to run.
