Open To Suggestion

Open to suggestion I’ve always been Single gals were called as I sipped sloe gin Roses wilting in the heat Why did they land at MY feet? Catching the bridal bouquet did me in The garter was tossed high into the air A swarm of men scrambled, I eyed the stairs I said, “Keep an open mind” The catcher was twenty-five! Despite my age, he proposed then and there He slid the garter quite far up my thigh I didn’t realize; the booze made me high Sloe gin I’ll ne’er touch again ‘Cause I forgot to say, “When!” And now I’m still getting calls from this guy True story – caught the bouquet at my nephew’s wedding. My nephew’s YOUNG friend caught the garter and proposed while my family broke out into laughter. I later gave it back to him and told him that although “I’m Open to Suggestion,” I thought he deserved a younger bride. For Joe’s “In Other Words” contest.
