White Trash Wedding

Shaving cream covers up the truck missing a left side window Backyard lawn is freshly mowed folding chairs assembled Trailer has been freshly scrubbed the scent of pine still lingers Ready for the wedding day of Bubba James and Ginger They’ve known each other all their lives even quit school together Rumored that somehow their kin but that has yet been founded Dated off and on for years come Spring a new arrival Now she’s knocked up dressed in white, God help the child’s survival The crowd has gathered to celebrate the union of this couple Indeed a sight to for all to see two hands placed on the bible Bubba James half drunk with shame with Ginger’s delicate condition Say I do, a prayer is prayed, the party soon commences Will their life bring happy times or a road of pure destruction Pretty soon the child will come and test their own survival Only God and fate can answer this too soon to draw conclusions Just hope and pray for it’s too late to stop this white trash union **This is not intended to offend anyone...just got an inspiration
