28 Days After the Vows

Strolling up the chapel isle, each one looking like a jewel Everyone saying of the bride, ‘Ooooh she looks so beautiful’ Stopping before the preacher, he leads them through the vows Not noticing the bride having a funny twitch across her brow At the moment of ‘I do’, hopping like a raving kangaroo She sinks her teeth into his skull, crimson red begins to spew Like a tasty watermelon, her face completely blood stained She looks directly into the camera and roars the word, “Brains!!!” The audience giggles in horror, the popcorn losing its fun Even Hannibal Lecter chuckles, ‘they got me on that one’ Just another zombie movie you can see at any mall You laugh it off, slow your heart, and try to remain calm You think you want this person, to be husband and wife But once you put that ring on, you may be stuck for life So if s/he begins to watch you with a twinkle and a drool You’ve got about twenty eight days to have it all annulled
