Please don’t marry a musician <br />Don’t put yourself in that position <br />Wondering where they are <br />When they’re not with their guitar <br /> <br />Please don’t marry a physician <br />Don’t put yourself in that position <br />Wondering where they are <br />When they’re not in the ER <br /> <br />Please don’t marry a magician <br />Don’t put yourself in that position <br />Wondering where they are <br />When their magic’s gone too far <br /> <br />Please don’t marry a mortician <br />Don’t put yourself in that position <br />Wondering where they are <br />When they’re not driving that long car <br /> <br />Please don’t marry a statistician <br />Don’t put yourself in that position <br />Wondering where they are <br />When the odds are they’re at a bar<br /><br />Paul Nelson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/please-don-t-marry/
