Mary Ann's Age-Old Excuse

Mary Ann had a boyfriend that she gave affection and great loyalty. Since the age of sixteen no one else had she seen but she wanted more at thirty-three! Her boyfriend, of course, had it made since regularly, he would get laid. So excuses he gave when Mary Ann would rave about marriage. . . and unwed they stayed. Getting pregnant was her coup d'etat when she said, “You will soon be a pa!” She said, “Furthermore, Bruce, I don’t need an excuse. In my mind we’re a pair - common-law!” For Black Eyed Susan's Excuses Poetry Contest
