Notes About The Poem

FICTIONAL POEM FOR Paradox Picture Contest Sponsored by Margarita Lillico 08/20/24

Dress to impress!- bawdy humour


My sister got married in white
Gran commented, “That isn’t right -
You are no virgin bride
That’s YOUR son by your side
You should have kept your legs shut tight!”

Jan...too funny. We probably don't see this too often now as people don't bother to get married! LOL!!!

Gran had her say on her granddaughter’s wedding day, in her eyes a virgin wearing white was wrong, she’d have fainted if she’d seen the bride’s thong… Hugs, Beryl xx

Ha ha, Jan. This kinda reminded me of a wedding I went to many many moons ago… everyone was taking up their positions when the bride, with babe in arms, said, “Who’s supposed to hold baby?” I replied, “There isn’t supposed to be one!”… Times were different back then ;-)

lol at this one, Jan. I agree with David's response. Granny certainly would've made her thoughts known to everyone!

Yes, I agree with you how times have changed, As a child i used to sing in a church choir was amazing how many 'meringue' dresses were worn and a few months later they would hold a christening at the same church lol:-) lol:-) hugs jan xx
