The Bridal Sojurn
THE BRIDAL SOJOURN
Like an American spy I have always been looking around
Wandering around the downtown
Not because of my lost goat
Nor because of my missing boat
But obviously I am the to-be groom
Who has been left in the gloom
I have built a house with big rooms
This has been a lone boon
That I got from my age-long boom
As a to-be groom
I have searched all the pages in the books
And checked all cranny and nooks
In search of the damsel
That would make my relatives dance well
Though I have not been assured
That her love would get me insured
Against adultery and lusty effrontery
But I believe in fluke
That is why I won’t give up to a crook
And rather challenge her with a hook
I saw this template on Google
And this really makes me giggle
Father didn’t stop to niggle
But I let them realize I’m nimble
To find my ravishing bride
That has a picturesque dimple
That is devoid of pimple
And make me forget that I was single
Even if I can still mingle
With ladies that are ostensible
I know her thinking is plausible
And her reasons are tangible
To let them realize we are compatible
Because our union is defensible
