Role Reversal
She was the scissors
And he was the glue
They love was an arts and craft project
That was missing a vital clue
But they continued loving each
As if nothing was wrong
This went on and on
Until the film ran out of tape
When they put it on rewind
And watched it from the start
They realized that the vital clue
Was a piece of paper
To tie them together
They searched high
And they searched low
Looking for a piece of paper
To make their high school romance
A little bit more official
But little did they know
That this tiny slip of paper
Was a legal document
That said that they could be
Mr. and Mrs. for the rest of their lives
One sheet of paper
Signed by the governor
Mayor
President
And High council
Saying that they could be together
Was something they didn’t want
But one day she got sick
And was lying on her death bed
He came rushing to her side
But the doctors said
You have to wait outside
As the flat tone echoed
Through the halls
He failed to his knees
And cried until the night became day
The doctor patted him on the back
And said
If only if it was legal for you two to be married
Then maybe you would have been
There through the end.
