About This Poem

MY COUSINS WEDDING

The Bachelor Party is over,
and he still has this silly little grin on his face.
Kind of, welfare recipient on the first, 
type of smile; pure happiness!
He said, God sent me my queen.
I said, he didn't make you another,
so this has to work!
We both laughed....

So I went ahead and let him in on another secret,
that I told his fiancee,
this family doesn't have a refund policy,
so she can't bring you back,
and I brought along some thick socks,
just in case you have symptoms of cold feet!

Everyone fell asleep,
where they sat or layed upon,
intoxication has never tucked anyone under the covers!

Sleeping through the alarm clock,
this idiot, wakes everyone up,
screaming at the top of his voice,
SHE WANTS ME, SHE WANTS ME, SHE WANTS ME

I said, damn, can we move the time up,
so I can hurry up and give you away,
it doesn't look like we'll be needing those thick socks!

The ceremony was beautiful.
Everything happened as planned,
even getting me to wear a tux!
Since I was the Best Man,
I prepared a Visual Speech.
I grabbed his hand with my right hand,
and hers with my left,
and stood between them.
With all the sincerity within my body,
in front of everyone,
I told them,
TO NEVER LET ANYONE COME BETWEEN THEM,
AS EASY AS I JUST DID!

    This is a wholesome narrative-free verse....I am truly digging the message here a lot. A great snapshot. A perfect way to end the poem! Did this make it into the contest? If so, I hope this poem places :D
