Lets Raise a Toaster To the Bride and Groom

Mike and Victoria decided to get married They lived together for seven years - too long they had dallied They jetted off to Mexico to get wed Lets have a party in the UK they said We won’t make a wedding list we don’t like greed We’ve been living together and have all the things we need The best man thought this a little unwise And a plan did form before his very eyes Two weeks after the wedding the reception was held When they saw all the guests their hearts just swelled The gifts were piled up in the wedding hall Boxes upon boxes they would have to open them all The best man arose and told the odd joke And how he thought Mike was such a wonderful bloke 'Please raise your glasses for a toaster to the bride and groom’ And everyone stood up around the room The best man he made an unusual request Could they open their presents in front of the guests They opened the boxes and to their surprise Twenty-seven toasters lay in front of their eyes The bride and groom laughed at the best man’s little joke They thanked all the guests who were wonderful folk Twenty of the toasters were returned to the store Seven went to charity to help those who are poor Jan Allison 12th March 2014 ~ Please read my notes about this poem ~
