The man had killed the thing he loved,
And so he had to die.
Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard.
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word.
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!…
Some love too little some too long,
Some sell and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.

Gay marriage=economic stimulus!
That’s the next way to sell it to the Republicans
Is that all gay weddings are worth?
The man had killed the thing he loved,
And so he had to die.
Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard.
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word.
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!…
Some love too little some too long,
Some sell and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.

So, don’t forget me hearties: ‘Marrage is a life sentence, with no time off for good behaviour!’
