Array ( [sid] => 183456 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Gift Number 2 [time] => 2016-08-20 04:54:19 [hometext] => Making the best of the worst is what friends do best. [bodytext] => The size of the wedding does not bring success!
Catered and draped in an overpriced dress;
Think of the thousand$ on flowers and food!
Just for the sake of saying I DO.

Two little words so easy to say!
All of it spent to give her away!

I propose (pardon pun) that the money be planned;
To shore up her woes when her fate hits the fan.

Let me assure you she marched to the alter;
Never suspecting the mating would falter!

Alas! Weve no plan for one unbetrothed!
Whos feeling unlovely and heartily loathed!

Why NOW is the time she needs praise and support;
A party to ease her from courting to court!

I say we celebrate! Send invitations!
Hire a band and order libations!

Dress to the nines and gather around her;
Bring her a gift that will simply astound her!

Tell her shes beautiful, clever and funny;
Cover her dress with pins full of money!

Dance her and dine her and eat her bouquet;
Rent her a limo to whisk her away!

A bit of our time is surely worth spending;
To give her at least her fond happy ending!

The launch of a ship needs less I am thinking;
To keep it afloat than when it is sinking!


Perhaps when were gifted that wedding invite;
If we read statistics (and trust that theyre right)

Well opt to spend less on the launch of the shrew;
And set some aside for gift number two! [comments] => 4 [counter] => 208 [topic] => 7 [informant] => softerware [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

I feel I miss a little or a bit of what/'/s intended- only because of the possibilities of double entendres. For instance, courting to court, could be flirting and realizing that divorce is wanted, or simply going to the courtroom with an attorney like an entourage, or even just flirting with other people, and ending up with them(even if only for a night).

However, splendid fun to read, with the dance of your writing :D

Oh and a fun fact to share, that I overheard on the radio(my mom/'/s favorite morning DJ has trivial fun facts that he shares) that there is a small correlation with the amount of money invested in a wedding and its likelihood of success, but I think it/'/s just a factor of expensive weddings mean better budgets, which mean better chances for secure fiscal means, but I/'/m not a doctor, nor an economist, nor a psychologist. Lol

My sentiments exactly,
yet, when I married my wife Linda,
I wanted it all....a wee bit for me,
a ton for her.

At the end of the day,
all that $ is forgotten in the memory,
but really,
a forest glade with birds for a chorus
and chipmunks for witnesses
would probably carry more
smiles to the final bed.

So true Jaye.
Today its all about one day. Maybe they know they/'/ll been gone tomorrow. Take that money and buy her a picket fence instead.

As usual I love the way you think and the flow of your writes. Plus I guess few people understand how hard it is to mix up the subjects of your poems.
I have a hard time with that. Whoever I channel loves to sing the blues.

That ending is hilarious! My favourite part was this, though:

//The launch of a ship needs less I am thinking;
To keep it afloat than when it is sinking! /

Great analogy.
