Notes About The Poem

07/01/2023

"Away In a ..."  (a/k/a "Bottle Garden") Poetry Contest, sponsored by Julia Ward



Away In a Haberdashery

Away In a Haberdashery

Away in a haberdashery,
No hat for me head,
Groom’s attire is needed
For me to be wed

Many months did me have
To find fitting apparel,
That there’s nothing me size,
Has me over a barrel

Me bride-to-be told me
To shop early on,
But me indecision 
Has left me undone 

We wed on the morrow 
So what’s there to do?
With nothing to wear,
Not even a shoe!

Wear a pair of overalls like my buddy did back in 72 for his wedding. He always was a big jokester. Everybody got a great laugh, then he went and changed clothes came out dressed as he should. Great poem my friend..
