5-4

Same-sex marriage got the nod
From 5 of the Supremes,
Allowing gays to do for real
What's dangled in their dreams.

In every single state,
Without exception, in the land,
A couple, straight or gay, may wed,
Which some can't understand.

I guess that group includes the 4
Dissenters on the Court,
Who somehow weighed the rights of gays
And found they came up short.

Though reason triumphed in this case,
I shudder at the thought
Of future rulings which may leave
Most liberals distraught.

At least, for now, our hopes can be
Maintained and kept alive
For justice did prevail
With a majority of 5.
