Self-Partnered

For over twenty years I've been self-partnered. I don't find my snoring offensive I'm happy to steer my ship without a mate My favourite friend is a book. My time's my own I'm married to myself, I'm a sologamist I'm not the half of anything: I'm the whole hog I have not gone blind or developed hirsute hands I treat myself to holidays, dining out I never have to compromise my views I never have to endure another's buddies Since I consciously uncoupled, I won't again have to walk that maze, divorce There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of Tracy Emin married a rock in her garden in France The wedding dress she chose was her father's shroud A British woman married a dolphin in Israel She gave him a kiss and a herring In Las Vegas, a bride wed a sandwich, crusts included Other bridegrooms have been as intriguing A roller coaster, a clay pot, and a snake Not forgetting a video game by the name of Pierre
