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



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..
