Brenda Mcgrath Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Little White Chapel

When my husband and I were in Las Vegas, I had a great suggestion,
To go to the Little White Chapel, and renew our vows in celebration.
I thought it would be such a lark we wouldn’t forget.
Having Elvis perform the ceremony would be the best thing yet!

However we never made it to the chapel, he refused.
To do such a silly thing did not leave him amused.
Maybe that was an indication of what was to come.
Divorce ensued, and sorrow beat its drum.

I want to go to the Little White Chapel with a new man.
We would have so much fun before our life began!
We could play a slot machine on our way out.
Then we would be man and wife with a payout!

Daniel Turner June 28, 2017 at 8:39 AM Very funny, Brenda. I'll go with you but I'm not sure I'd do the Little White Chapel ceremony. I'll just sit and play the slots:) A fun read. Love your sense of humor:) Brenda Mcgrath June 28, 2017 at 10:20 AM Maybe we could do a pretend ceremony. Haha!:) Thanks Daniel!
