The Sun Sets on the Taylor's Marriage

The sun sets

On the Taylor’s marriage

The Taylor marriage?

The Taylors’ marriage?

How does that--

It doesn’t matter

Their last name is Taylor

And their marriage is ending

Two people

Are sitting on a hill

Looking out

On a pristine vista

A majestic…

A beach?

Are they looking at a beach?

Can a vista

Be a vista

Of a beach?

Because ‘vista’ is just ‘view’

It just means ‘view’

So could that--

Never mind

The point is

Their marriage is in shambles

They’re fighting

They’re crying

They’re having a rough go of it

And now the sun is setting

And Madison Taylor

Has had enough

She’s packing a suitcase

She’s writing a Dear John

She’s--

Her husband name

Isn’t John by the way

It’s something else

But we weren’t given

That information

Tobey?

Tobey Taylor?

Does that sound right

Let’s just say Mr. Taylor

Mr. Taylor knows

That his marriage is on the rocks

But he’s still going to be upset

When he comes home

And finds a Dear John letter

And we’re not even sure

He knows it’s called

A ‘Dear John’ letter

He’s devastated

Even though he knew

The sun was setting

Because sometimes

You think you have more sun coming

And then--Wham!

Daylight Savings Time

And it’s dark

Before you know it

There’s that moment

Where you’re standing

In the middle of your house

With all the blinds open

And it’s pitch black out

And the woods that surround your house

Are staring at you

And you’re alone

And nobody’s coming home

Because your wife has left you

And the guy you let

Stay in your attic

Has also decided to move out

And he left you a letter as well

But that’s called a “Dear Phil’ letter

And now you have all these letters

And what the hell

Are you supposed to do with them
And outside

Vampires circle your house

Because the Taylors may not have a marriage

But Mr. Taylor has a vampire problem

And Mrs. Taylor is already on a plane

Headed to Romania

Which means soon she’ll have a vampire problem as well

And when we set out to write

About the dissolution

Of a marriage

We never saw it going down the road

Of vampires

But that’s how things go sometimes

And as for the two vampires

Staring at the beach vista

On a hill

They seem to be doing
All right

They don’t plan

On getting married

And that’s probably for the best

Since so few marriages

Work out these days

Especially with it

Getting darker

Earlier and earlier
