Preamble 

This Saturday's Rhymers Club theme  is about weddings.  Brian is otherwise engaged so I have agreed to rent him some space.

 

My Very Disjointed Theme Contribution (by Don Matthews)

 

This week's theme is weddings

Cos weddings in the air

Which sorta gives me problems

Forgotten I was there

 

Now do not get me wrong

I'm married, still attached

It's just I can't remember

The day that we got latched

 

But hiding in the cupboard

Encased in plastic wrap

Are special memories hiding

Our wedding cake brings back

 

There's one thing I remember

(Funny how you do)

That's hearing my new partner

First going to the loo

 

I'm wedded to my wardrobe

Some might say attached

I look inside occasionally

To see what new it's catched

 

Hello? What is that grey thing

Hanging in the corner

By gosh! it's my old wedding suit

It's not my funeral mourner

 

I need and try declutter

And read up on this skill

The trouble is I'm beaten

I like to watch it fill

 

My poem is disjointed

I do apologise

My life has been disjointed

Full of laughter, cries

FATHER OF THE BRIDE (by Brian Maryon)

 

The wedding is costing a packet

and I'm having to pay for it

People might think I'm a tit

But I don't mind one little bit

I'll just take it out of my bottomless pit

 

The wedding speech is writ

and if some heckling git

tries to give me any shit

and telling me to quit

I'll disarm him with my sparkling wit
