MARRIAGE

I embarked upon a crash course in fund
Generation in order to achieve a goal:
The sole ambition of creating
Sufficient monies
To ensure multiple
Escapes from the bonds
Of containment, and to be
Able to sustain them.

Indeed the essential quality of the venture
Was highlighted by the fact that my
Best man was due to get married,
And with the stag do and gift
Giving and country estate
Ceremony, it was going to burn,
So to fuel it I worked like a
Newly born turtle attempting the sea.

And it all came out right in the end after
Several attempts and weeks spent away;
Money was earned and returned
To the tax man in so many ways,
As our friends tied a knot whose
Noose was eventually tightened by lawyers
Several years later when she decided it wasn’t
For her, and now he’s not the only one who’s owed.
