CLICHE, CLICHE, CLICHE.

CLICHE, CLICHE, CLICHE.

A Poem by Julie Grenness
"

I ponder on way back when, and the bridal industry.

"

CLICHE, CLICHE, CLICHE.


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 these golden years I wander from,

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!!!)
