Parody Song Title:
"Modern Marriage"
Parody Written by:
Patrick McWilliams
The Lyrics
Courts in Massachusetts and California have ruled that consenting human couples of the same sex may legally marry. I think this unfairly limits those whose amorous desires transcend anthropocentric prejudices. But sooner or later, California will lead the way in righting this injustice.
Modern marriage, modern marriage
I just wed the horse that pulls my carriage
Here in California
Don't say I didn't try to warn ya'
Modern wedlock, modern wedlock
It's a nightmare legalistic gridlock
Hitchin' and divorcin'
The natural consequence of horsin'
Try, try, try and analyze it
Here are my theses
The Golden State will recognize it
Across the species
Consummating, consummating
Can be more than slightly aggravating
Twixt a man and equine
We'll work it out and all will be fine
I just wed the horse that pulls my carriage
Here in California
Don't say I didn't try to warn ya'
Modern wedlock, modern wedlock
It's a nightmare legalistic gridlock
Hitchin' and divorcin'
The natural consequence of horsin'
Try, try, try and analyze it
Here are my theses
The Golden State will recognize it
Across the species
Consummating, consummating
Can be more than slightly aggravating
Twixt a man and equine
We'll work it out and all will be fine

I had 15 horse laughs ovine. . .er, over this dun. . .one.
I think that everyone, regardless of orientation, should have the same right to marry and be unhappy as heteros...
Funny idea. I always kinda thought that Mr. Ed and Wilbur were...well...sort-of...oh nevermind
Yes, it is quite perplexing here . . . Many things are being re-defined . . . .
