Searching For A Bride Poem by Randy McClave

A man wants to bring home a bride like his mother
Not like his teacher or preacher or any other,
He wants the same type of woman that his father caught
Excited he is to meet her, and then to tie the knot,
I thought I brought home a wife just like my father did
One which I knew that he would accept and not forbid,
But, she proved something which was surprising and worse
I never knew that my mom smoked, drank, and curse.
