We are looking for a wife

To be our son’s joy.

But we have criteria

For marriage with our beloved boy.

She must be smart

From educated kin

But putting career before family

That is an unholy sin.

So she must resign immediately

From her occupation

To care for husband and house

- A wife’s true vocation.

She must be adept

In every culinary skill

But also accept her spouse’s judgement

On all cooked meals.

We don’t want a timid bird

In our family tree

Nor a boisterous lout

- That’d shame our ancestry.

She must bear many a child

And treat each as king

But never forget that

Husband is god in all things.

If you can tick every box,

And match our fit,

Then yours is our world

And every freedom in it!
