Poem: The Marriage of Jim and Jane
Last year, Jane of Jane’s Guide went and got married to her long-time soulmate and partner-in-crime, Jim. Here is their story.
Gather ’round children, and pull up a chair
while I tell of a love and a whim.
For no tale anywhere could ever compare
to the marriage of Jane and Jim.
Webmasters they are, and lovers as well
and the web’s greatest guide they maintain.
But they decided pell-mell to exclude clientele
in the marriage of Jim and Jane.
They treasure their friends, they love all their fans
and a crowd at a wedding adds vim.
but this really demands more time than the plans
for the marriage of Jane and Jim.
Cuz Jim popped the thought in bed Sunday night
the next morning his love booked the plane.
and then Friday night they climbed on the flight
to the marriage of Jim and Jane.
Las Vegas they picked, that gambling town
a place that’s just packed to the brim
with girls hunkered down in their wedding gown
like the marriage of Jane and Jim.
There are chapels about, and bouquets abloom
and six-packs of sparkling champagne.
You can’t enter a room without hitting a groom
or the marriage of Jim and Jane.
The Clark County court provided the chit
and the chapel provided the hymn
as well as the bit where the guy does the skit
called the marriage of Jane and Jim.

and the line stretched around the back lane
but the important play that happened that day
was the marriage of Jim to Jane.
They picked out their service, they tendered their fee
and she lowered her lashes at him
and they started to see the reality
of the marriage of Jane and Jim.
The minister there was a kind-hearted hack,
and the organ began its refrain
and with that attack there was no turning back
from the marriage of Jim and Jane.
No doms invited, no leather-bound men
not even a chained cherubim.
Just a couple of friends in a gambling den
for the marriage of Jane and Jim.
One other witness: the webcam was there
the wedding was public domain
so MizS could prepare shots of the affair
and the marriage of Jim and Jane.
The minister stopped, the service was fine
and their future was now much less grim.
Their lives were now twined more than leather could bind
in the marriage of Jane to Jim.
The video tape that was made was rerun
but how could they ever expain?
that the honeymoon one that they’d make was more fun
than the marriage of Jim and Jane.
