Shotgun Wedding
At a wedding in Kansas, right next to the cake
Was a smaller one meant for the groom.
Very often such cakes sport his favorite teams
Or some hobby of his, we’d assume.
Well in this case, the topping was quite a surprise
For it boasted a real-looking gun
Sitting right on the frosting, as if to announce,
“This is my special way to have fun!”
I was not at this wedding; just looked at the pic
So I’m not sure if it was in jest
But no matter, just seeing that pistol-topped cake,
I’m relieved that I wasn’t a guest!
