as Kyle was walking down the aisle
he tasted disgusting salty green bile
looked up and saw a weird smile on Lyle
Feeling vile, he started to dial.
His bride Wilhemina was dressed in style.
she outclassed him by a city mile
he ran, jumping a massive wood pile
did not return for quite a while
in the meantime, the groomsman named Lyle
wooed Wilhemina in glorious courting style
they picked out dishes and kitchen floor tile
forever a bachelor remained old lonely Kyle
Harold's hope at love was nill and none
A groomsman at fifteen weddings
No pretty gal caught his eye
They seemed superficial
He was a great catch
People liked him
Mom said so
Single
Still
once upon a time
a wedding day handkerchief
with lovely white lace
an old garter belt
borrowed and fastened on thigh
a groom with blue eyes
a nosegay bouquet
tucked in baby’s breath
fastened with ribbon
the bride’s train so long
ring bearer, flower girls ride
for a couple hours
then into the wind
with the groomsman by her side —
the unbridled bride

The Wedding.
The Pastor stood there waiting,all clothed in his atire
The Organist played the Wedding tune,so sweet,to be admired.
The Groomsman and his Best man,were waiting patiently
As the congregation,sat in seats,adorned so beautifully.
Then came the children,in the lead,with rings and petals baring
They were dressed so pretty ,and so cute,their beauty was unsparing.
Next the Bridesmaids,and the Matron of Honour,as pretty as can be
Then,last but least,as was expected,my Daddy escorting me.
The music stopped,all took their places,as quickly as they could
To see the start of a celebration,as perfect as it should.
Words were spoken,prayers were said,then came the Wedding vows
As this couple stood before God and man,as perfect as precious flowers.
A budding young couple ,full of life and great love
Sent from heaven,and the good Lord above.
The crowd cheered,as the couple kissed,to seal the vows they made
A kiss of love,a kiss of lasting,which never was to fade.
The rice was thrown,the car was ready,to wisk the couple away
To go and celebrate,the promise they made,on this,their Wedding Day.
