I don’t know the text of the Klaine vows, though from comments on here I can gather that they were pretty nauseating, but I love that they apparently incorporated part of Shel Silverstein’s “The Missing Piece” into the speech. This just can’t be a coincidental choice on RIB’s part.
In “The Missing Piece” there is a circle with a piece missing who feels like it’s not complete because it is missing the little triangle (amusingly enough) that would make it like everybody else. The circle has all kinds of adventure as it searches for its missing piece, adapting to find its own way in a world not suited for it. Upon finding the piece it discovers that it can’t do the things it loves anymore (Like singing! With the triangle cutting off its “mouth” it has no voice of its own. Or at least nobody can understand when it tries to sing.) The circle doesn’t like being like everyone else and realizes that the journey was the fun part and that it liked itself better different. It chooses to sweetly but firmly set aside the missing piece and continue life’s journey on its own terms, no longer discontent because it knows who it is and is happy.
