Bob, the Runaway Groom
On day one, Chloe, Bob’s darling new bride, had a little “Bob to-do-list”,
His spanking new in-laws, the Fortners had one also, as this was their little miss.
Sex was out, as Bob was too busy and hardly had time for a kiss.
He ran away from them in six days, unconsummated, with barely a hiss.
Chloe learned where he was, and followed her Bob to his Montana lair.
A pretty cabin set deep in the mountains, which sometimes lured a raccoon or bear.
They were happy a week, these frolicking lovers, sweet nights, in their cozy den.
Until one horrible, awful, day, when the Fortners pulled up; they had followed them!
Those crafty newlyweds sneaked away from her folks in the middle of the night,
A loud grizzly growl stopped them in their car, giving Chloe quite a fright.
The bear came out of the cabin, big and proud, he had eaten her mom and dad.
What started out as the best honeymoon week of his life, was the worst now Bob had ever had.
