Love Poem: Cliches

Cliches

Seduced by clichés of love,
We signed on for wedding doves,
Being at those wedding receptions, 
All clichés of norms' conventions,
Having a cream puff wedding day,
Was an expensive way of getting laid,
All clichés for the bridal industry,
Trite cant and hypocrisy,
BUT--the appliances outlived everyone!!
Wedding gifts when once were young,
On film noir weddings I ponder on,
As golden years I wander on,
All that phony hypocrisy,
Cliches and norms of society,
D.I.V.O.R.C.E.
(who didn't hate going to their in-laws for tea?)
