Bonus poem: The SCOTUS Rules!

THE SCOTUS RULES!

The SCOTUS rules!
Now, if you're gay,
You now may wed
In places where
It once was said
That you could not!
In Arkansas,
Now it's the law;
In Georgia, too,
They'll say, "I do,"
And then, "Ye haw!"
Kentucky now
Cannot forbid
Two folk who'd rid
Themselves of single
Fate! Not late
To altar be
In Tennessee;
Louisianans
Who are gay
Now say hurray!
In Michigan
No court now can
Prohibit bliss
'Tween miss and miss;
If in Missouri
One man should
His love decree,
The other now
Can say, "Show me!"
In South Dakota
And in North,
The wedding plans
Can now go forth;
Ohio mates
Of the same sex
Can fix the date,
And lists now check;
And Texans gay
Or straight need not
Go on in alone state;
Nebraskans of
All kinds can wed,
And secrecy
Now shed.
From North to South,
From coast to coast,
The SCOTUS rule
Now says the most
About how marriage
Is esteemed:
And more will live
As loving teams!
