• If I were to marry, I would have quite a few
    Expectations,
    Addendums,
    Provisos,
    And stipulaitons for my lawfully wedded wife.
    Here lie a few,
    The highlights, really,
    Main points of the entire thing.

    "My wife would have to be like a few
    Girls, women I've seen or
    Encountered in my wanderings.

    "She must be courageous and imaginitive, like Ellie.
    Loving, caring, like Mother Teresa,
    Sensual, strong like Marilyn Monroe.
    Mischievous, daring like Mandy.

    "She must be spirited, explorative, like Jessie.
    Gorgeous, pixyish, like Hayley Williams.
    Intelligent, curious, like Marie Curie.
    Independent, regal, like Meryl Streep.

    "She must be fun and badass, like Noodle.
    Musical, gentle, like Julie Andrews.
    Comical, punny, like Lucille Ball.
    Talented, beautiful, like Natalie Portman."

    That's truly it. The end of the list.
    Except for one thing I fear I have missed.
    That last stipulation, proviso, and act:
    "She must be herself, so screw all of that."
