Civil Union Poems

Introduction

These are poems written for the occasion of the recent Civil Union Ceremony by the celebrants' two children. We are grateful to their mothers and to them for allowing us to include their voices here.

Poem by Sam Alvarado-Silverman, age 12

I have two parents named Robin and Sandy
Both of them are fine and dandy
When I need money they come in handy.
They have been together 21 years
In that time Robin has taught a lot of young peers
and Sandy's patients have shed a lot of tears.
Now as their mid-life crisis nears
they've finally been civilized
