The families had gathered
The church was arrayed
With white bows and flowers
The bride’s father had paid
We were the guests, the friends,
The witnesses most keen
On seeing the ceremony,
A most loving of scenes
The weather was nice
The Gods had approved
The service was finished
With the bride and the groom
Now off to the reception
All cameras put away
The happy couple has left
And gone to the party.
The clean up was done
In silence by men
With whisk brooms and bags
The church was cleared again
With all of the wedding joy
A thing of the past
The pastor prepared
For the funeral mass

Very cool - liked the way "away" made my mind pronounce "party" partay (as in getting down at the partay!). intentional?
ReplyDeleteI wonder what set your mind to a matrimonial bent? Mmmmmmm...
I will get back to the horse soon... once I find it maybe I can get back on ;o}
