For Kyle

Eleven months ago we wed

And now we share the same queen bed.

I know it drives you crazy when

I sleep through my alarm and then

You still get up before I do.

Instead of one sink, 

We need two.

Today, 'cause love for you I hath,

I brushed my teeth in the guest bath

So you could shave your face just so.

You need sink space too, I know.

My handsome Kyle, you're so great.

You sometimes let me sleep in late.

And let me watch my favorite shows

Even when you hate them so.

But marriage equals compromise

And never ever telling lies.

And so there's something you must know,

About your favorite TV shows.

When I watch ESPN with you

I don't really have a clue.

But I watch 'cause I love you.
