The Wedding Cake

The Wedding Cake I told my bride that we should have a special wedding cake Something very different, a statement it would make Explaining how I saw it and the flavors I desired The special little figurines my vision had inspired How it would be delicious in our favorite butter cream Tinted in the color red, yes that would be a dream I even drew a picture of each layer to the top I really got excited it was very hard to stop Its then I looked into her eyes and saw an evil stare I asked what I had done so wrong would she please like to share That’s when she shattered all my hopes when these few words she said “There’s no way I will have a cake that’s themed “The Walking Dead” I guess that means I shouldn’t take my Daryl vest on the honeymoon. : ) 2/27/17 Written for the Relishing Cake Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Julia Ward

Congratulations! The Lannisters will be proud of you! You almost won the Iron Throne. Be happy you didn't, the thing must hurt one's butt terribly while sitting there, not to speak of your back, and the chances of survival are slim.

I'm sure it does, they need a cushion or two on that thing. :) But if the Dragon Mother was sitting on my lap, I wouldn't care how uncomfortable it was. :)

Dear Chris we readers can see you also have a sense of humor with wit and play. You had the reader hooked then came the plunge and twist line. Well done

Chris Green
Date: 2/27/2017 10:48:00 AM

Thanks so much Lisa, in my world, (work world) humor is often what gets me through the day. If I took all of this stuff seriously, there'd be a problem I couldn't laugh off. And besides, I love making people smile. :)

LOL... No Daryl vest for YOU! Game of Thrones, that might be possible, if you choose the right cake, without poison that is.

Chris Green
Date: 2/27/2017 10:36:00 AM

It's my favorite vest too. :) Thanks so much Darren, I wonder what flavor the Lanisters would like best.

Very fun, Chris. Saw a t-shirt yesterday: bride with groom, then "Game Over". That wouldn't go over well either. Very nice, keep it up! Dave

Chris Green

Thanks so much Dave. I'm glad you liked this one and I think you are right, that wouldn't go over to well either.
