Since He Was Deceased

Since He Was Deceased My heart has been broken so many times Missed haring church bells and their chimes Candles went out when the wind did blow Down the aisle in dark never got to go. Instead of reading each of my vows out loud Was trampled by congregation in a crowd When we were suppose to present the ring My parents with them they forgot to bring. What a wonderful wedding it may have been Part of the problem was forgot to put me in Then my over-taxed brain I tried to relax Found that license was eaten up by the fax. You can only marry me under one condition Provide someone with enough ammunition To blow brains out of either preacher or priest And stop service because he is deceased.
