Gentleman in tux
Left out in the cold until
Wife returns with food....

Military coif
high and tight
not a hare out of place

if i could
be a bird
i'd be
a penguin

waddling out on
the town
or the nearest
iceberg

it looks like
i'm wearing a tux
how do you know
i'm not...

There I stood in tux and tails
  Her lovely face still veiled
Demure in tantalizing gown...
  'Til my daring question sailed 
    ~ What is your pronoun?...

Dragon has a date
And wants to borrow the car; 
Decked out in his tux,
A size three hundred deluxe.
Top down, he crashed on beltway!

Penguins are hilarious, they dress in tux
Waddle so funny but shluff it off with a shrug
The sight is a hoot
In their slick B&W suit
If one's on my lawn I'll give him a hug...

Pug noses in designer hoodies 
Wicker baskets on beach cruisers 
Leather sofas doggy devoted 
Grooming parlors and pet hotels 
Best pooch in wedding tux 
Nip and tuck, no more nuts 
Hollywood glitz for puppy shitz 
LA doggy style
Westside!...

There was a young penguin named Blacky
His walk was considered quite wacky
He dressed in a tux
But unlike the ducks
The noise he made wasn't a quacky

A lovely lady;
Growing inside, a new life.
A man in a tux.

Another bell rings now.
Final grades, balanced college offers,
Off to another adventure.

Damp ground, headstones.
Growing inside, a new life,
Done with their adventures.

Preacher, flowers, dresses, cake
Husband, wife, bouquets, music
Maid of Honor, Best Man, rings
Rehearsal dinner

Ill-fitting tux, bad weather
Parents, in-laws arguing
Photographer a no-show
Should have just eloped

~The bride wore white gown, the groom his blue tux
    Symbol of wedding complete
     Shotgun did wedding vows 

~Bride and groom together bear wedding bliss
    When sweet devotion is borne 
      Small feet will walk on hearts

For  and in honor of Dr Ram
And wedding contest...

                wearing my cologne
                        tux shirt
               leather braided ankle
                        bracelet

                      no panties

                      lax'd hern
                         mine
                         yacht

It was the night before
Long awaited day
All the trimmings 
Put in proper place
Picture books 
Process being made
Tux and Gown
Finest in town
Music special picked 
Little girls flower baskets
Yes the guy as well 
Can't forget the wedding ring
A Oneness in the proceeds
Saying 
Love you...

Didn't know where she was going
    or remember where she came from

  Standing around on street corners
    banging an empty drum

  A gent in a tux espied her
    She thought, 'How could I be so dumb?'

  'I was supposed to become a grown-up'
    She never ate cake ~ now stuck with crumbs...

Cruise ship
Leaves slip

Line rails
Cocktails

Strong breeze
Rough seas

Swigs booze
Bad news

Oh me
Queasy

Boat drill
Felt ill

Grub great
Gained weight

Oh shucks
Tight tux

Played slots
Lost lots

Met Moll
Some doll!

Let's dance?
Perchance?

Git lost!
Star-crossed!

Cruise done
No fun...

Question to the Groom 

When you stride that Southern aisle

Splendid in the tux that she picked out

With my children at your side

As your pals all drink and shout…

When the sky’s a brilliant blue

Matching eyes that stole my heart

Will you pause to think of us

 And the dreams that fell apart?

Distinguished cobra with a top hat and tux
You are such a gentleman to all these ducks
They are being called, there is a big influx
Because they love what you do, these happy ducks.

Why do you like these quackers so?
Because they follow you to and fro?
Or because they bring the frogs from way below
I hear that you like munching on them starting at their toe....

If he had my eyes
What would he see
The chaos, the hurt
Uncontrollable tears
The darkness I lay in
If he had my eyes
Would he see reflection of others
Shoes well shined 
Tux cleaned and tailored
A thousand dollar smile
Let me tell him pleads my heart
What you see, was never there
Look to the mirror
If he had my eyes
He would know where the pain truly lies...

His arrogance chills the room
muffling conversation
strutting
as he looks to see
who's looking.
His whiny tone
an endless wind
as his white tux
carpets the floor
in soulless silence.
His joy
an endless howl
of pressured wind
escaping
in a stinging sleet
of painful barbs.
His fear
the gentle warmth
of rising spirits.

Doublecheck the invitation
Checkmark for the gift
Checkmark for the card
Dress in our best
Ready for their big day
Tux and gown
Hair up and bejeweled
Pose showing our pearly whites
Sunshine ordered as part of the decor
Cameraman getting all his shots

Bride and groom
Going about their day
Perfect blend of stress and bliss

Preparations have been made
Over a year of long glorious planning
Flowers, tux and food have been picked
A long lovely, flowing beaded gown, a real southern belle

Organ piping the bridal march, 
Glowing bride and nervous groom oblivious
Forever bound into the marrital
Walk of life. Presenting to you
Life long mates. Hands clutched,
smiles wide, hearts full, expecting the best to come!

For the Walk to remember contest...

I can look in your 
eyes 
and feel your heart
After all these years 
nothing could tear us 
apart
Young and in love, 
who 
cares what people say
If you ever got down 
on one knee I'd 
marry 
you that day
Wedding bell would 
ring
Caged birds would 
sing
Me in my white, you 
in 
your tux
With everybody 
around 
us wishing us luck
I'd be cheesing so 
hard 
like it was our first 
date
I love you so much, I 
just know it was fate...

This little dime
I  want at any cost
I live in a luxury Vegas penthouse  
This little dime
I roll down my sleeve
Hidden under my tux like a cream
This little dime
I have lost my mind
I am willing to go blind
For it and die
This little dime 
I don’t need it anymore 
Because I don’t have eyes to see  it anymore
This little dime
Never meant me well
I am okay that I am in hell
This little dime
I am happy you are not mine
Even though I miss fine women and wine...

Suspicious vows mocking arouse
classic gowns masked ball an spouse
reflection of dark eyes in all mirrors
red dresses of pure silk satin 
men's tux fervently impassioned
scent of an unknown mystical dawn
sudden back to violin an tango vin
worried figure takes place heartfelt
may i have this dance madam 
hence float the scent deep faint
moves freely like antonyms dictionaries
compared by experts an missionaries
unexpectedly sunk in a crush 
an flee out of th' ball in rush...
