Debbie Guzzi Poet Verse

Wedding Bells Blues

Married by a de-frocked priest
[the folks didn't have a clue ]
the day was mostly sunny,
the geese were quaking too!

My groom it seems was fretin'
but my brother well [he knew ]
Mary Jane was just the thing
to go with cheese fondue!

Pond side, down garden path
the flower girl was crying
the ring bearers pillow dropped
the brides maids were sighing!

Missing Mom finally showed,
her ex in tow with tootsie
what delight, what painful fright
and me the raving beauty!

What a day, that 26th of May
I should have guessed, you know
when the wedding suites' door
stuck, they gave us free bordeaux.
