When Men Had to Marry
In 1956 April told Henry
her mother had told her
there's a time and a place
for that and the time
for that was certainly
not now but soon
after the ceremony
after the reception
on their honeymoon
at Niagara Falls.
April hoped Henry
would like it for she
would be his as long
as his freckles
danced the cha-cha
all over his nose.
