A Maiden's Baggage

I loved a maiden all dressed in pure white And I longed and dreamed of our wedding night She was a beauty with baggage you see But then at the time it meant naught to me She had a condition of nerves they say Stress made her chuckle then laugh straight away But I had her bed on my mind and so I ignored the warnings - much to my woe The wedding night came and I looked ahead To exchanging that white for something red I swiftly undressed, cast off my buckle - She looked me over, started to chuckle Laughter was loud as I called it the end My ego won't stand her baggage, my friend 2/6/2017

A gem of a poem wins a gem of a contest. This was funny and a bit sad (for him) at the same time. Nicely done Larry. Congrats on your win.

No man would want to hear his bride laughing as he undressed on their wedding night. This is a wonderful poem, Larry, and I congratulate you on taking first place. Please send me a soup mail and let me know where I can send your jewelry prize. Also let me know a color or type of jewelry you prefer. Thanks for supporting the contest!
