The Crash Test Dummy

When two people get married in wedded bliss

The groom will change his name

For now he's called "The Crash Test Dummy"

And his wife is always the blame

When a man marries his beloved bride

And she doesn't know how to cook

He'll have to test those recipes from hell

That come from some stupid book

And of course, that means food poisoning

And a trip to the emergency room

Remember I said, "Crash Test Dummy"

Cause he's no longer the groom

And when she asks if she's getting fat

He'll probably tell her the truth

Well that's another trip to the dentist

'Cause he's lost another tooth

And now that leaves his mother-in-law

The biggest danger of all

For when she comes, she'll never leave

So he bangs his head on the wall

That's why we call him "The Crash Test Dummy"

Because marriage is a pretty rough ride

For he'll stay swollen, bruised and battered

When he marries his beloved bride

This was hilarious. And Oh, so true! Fun piece to read and mull over...as long as you have your helmet on, of course.
