To Rehearse Or Not To Rehearse
He asked her father,
He said, "You may."
He asked her,
She said, "I will!"
To celebrate their engagement,
A party is given, a nice backyard party
With dancing and romancing.
The guest unaware,
Of the change in the air;
Veiled behind closed doors, a secret's revealed.
She tells her sisters, he tells his brothers.
"I'm getting married!Right now, tonight!
Quick, put these on---No time to rehearse."
The guest have seated for dinner to be served.
An announcement is made; dinner is delayed;
The couple is pleased that you are here,
They invited you here, for their wedding to share.
Surprise! You were invited to their engagement party,
but, this is the wedding ceremony, they planned from the start.
Please excuse any mishaps that you may see;
For they did not want to rehearse,
As life is not practiced, and this is their life;
Two become one; for better or worse.
