Runaway Train

An outdoor wedding, no sign of rain The bride’s gown had a 10-foot train Crossing the lawn to her bequeathed Fido snatched the train in his teeth And Pop watched eight grand go down the drain

Witty, like an old song lyric. I like this, it should be used in a witty commercial. Not that they make many anymore. Regards, Gerard and thank you!
