Let No Man Put Asunder

yesterday
the twain became one
voluptuous and virgin 
America
to the most handsome
vivacious and viral
Democracy
the promises made to love
protect
cherish
til death do them part
white silk train
flowing from sea to shining sea
maid of honor
Statue Of Liberty
twas such a happy day for her
the countless hours spent with 
America
who to invite
where will they sit
what will be the bill of fare
CNN
MSNBC
Politico
photographing 
filming  
recording the ceremony for posterity
all
highly recommended
proud Founding Father
always the best man
reaching into his coat pocket 
finding the rings
circular cymbals of an unending 
uninterrupted union
Democracy smiles
America blushes
as the Supreme Court asked
if anyone objects 
speak now
or forever hold your peace
and from the back row
he stands
feeble cries are ignored
swift ushering out the back door
America and Democracy
the twain became one
as was reported yesterday
upheld by the Supreme Court
blessing the union with constitutional holy water
as reported yesterday
properly
and without bias
by 
CNN
MSNBC
and Politico

I started out as a local sportswriter my senior year of high school. One old coach didn't like the way I wrote a story about his team being blown out by 30 points and reported it to my editor. The stats were right...the score was right... and my editor sent me back there the following week to cover the next game. This kinda falls in the same category.
