When I see a girl in a bridal gown
and she’s arm in arm with some idle clown
or a man who is mean or rude or dim
then I wonder what can she see in him.

When I see a girl with a band of gold
holding hands with a man who is cruel and cold
or who only ever thinks of himself
I can’t think why he wasn’t left on the shelf.

I am always amazed
at the men who are married;
scrape the bottom of the barrel
and it’s hard to find
some as awfully bad as those lawfully wed.
I just have to conclude that love is blind.

Mean rude and dim! I've known them all! I think some people know how to get what they want in the panic to look like you've sorted your life out. But in the end, being yourself is worth more. Liked your poem.
