Green, But No Envy

Had my hair color treated
To surprise the wedding guests
Shock came at the rehearsal
Groom wanted to leave

His once-blonde bride had green curls
She’d been hoping for brunette
Oh, how the bridesmaids chuckled
Wig worn at wedding





Sadly, a true story.

Super loved this very funny one...wish some coaxing and cajoling had worked on the groom, cuz the idea of a green haired bride did sound good to me :)) Congrats Carolyn on your fabulous win with this exquisite piece...

Very seldom do I keep a poem in my head as much as I have this one, Carolyn..It certainly brings a new dimension to your personality-You have all these wonderful life situations that you have turned into poetic masterpieces..here is just another example. Curious,....do you wear green hair for St. Patty's Day? ha ha. Congrats on this funny scene!! Gwendolen
