Fabulous Fun Footles - Nuptials

On time Sublime My beau Hel-lo! Guests smile No guile Church hall Too small Tikes play Then sway So hot Must stop Slow-mo I know Kid hurls* Hits girls Bride’s dress A mess Aaww, hell The smell! Wiped down Don’t frown Do you...? I do! --------------------------- * hurls = vomits 20th March 2017 For the "Fabulous Fun Footles" contest sponsored by Jan Allison. (First Place)

Thanks, Alexis. I don't really write humourous stuff, so this was nice to let off some steam. Congrats to you, too.

Morning John. This is the second time I've seen this format. Is it new? So glad the both of you said "I do" Now about that dress..... and the church hall being too small.... not good (ha ha) Good luck with the contest and this form as well.

It's certainly new to me. They're a lot of fun; you should give them a try! Don't worry, this was all plucked from the recesses of my imagination, so no dresses were harmed in the making of this poem!

All the stress that people put on themselves to have the "perfect" wedding- and you've captured the fact that the "I do's" are the most important feature of it all :), very nicely done
