Two Weddings
One was sunny; one had rain.
One had beer and one champagne.
One had singing by a choir;
One had Dylan to inspire.
One had tender, choked-up vows;
The other, guests more used to bows.
One, a Windsor staid event;
The other had a porch and tent.
Both had salmon, garden peas,
Asparagus and meat and cheese.
For dessert, ‘twas no surprise
That one had tartlets, one had pies.
Both had music going on;
Only one had Elton John
But the other, I attest,
Played dancing songs that were the best.
Though the weddings can’t compare,
Love at both was in the air.
Gazing in each other’s eyes
Were sparks we all could recognize.
Two new couples said “I do”
And one of them was you-know-who.
The other people I do treasure
And their wedding was a pleasure.
