War and Marriage

Two things in life are the worst things of all
The two things that make all the greatest to fall
The first one is War, and that is a fact
Brought people like Hitler down with a smack

The second is marriage, an awful lot like war
And if you look close they are the same thing in lore
Its binding and deadly to all of its prey
It raises its count higher day upon day.

So one thing that is wrong and you must never do
Is lead people into these things and stick them like glue.
So my parting words should the Lord not tarry.
Never tell someone to go to war or marry.

    ...I don't see how marriage is really like war, but it's cute for those who see it. ^_^ Be safe, God bless you!

    Quite alright. Thank you for your comment! I kind of know how you feel, not knowing what to say anyway. I have that problem all the time.

    Yes, yes it did. I'm sorry if I made it seem like I didn't like it. I liked it..it was really well written, funny..and it explained the quote well!!! Sorry again if I made it seem like I didn't like it..seriously, didn't mean to. I just had no knowledge as to what to say.

    Don't agree with this proverb..but that's ok. Great rhyming scheme, really...ahh I don't know what to say as I usually don't at this time of night. Soo I won't say anything. It made me laugh a lot though.
