Best Mans\' Speech

Well old friend the time has come 
Is this by choice – or by shotgun 
You said for you she is the one 
You can’t back out – the deed is done 

Like the proverbial sitting duck 
Love hits you like a ten ton truck 
We sincerely wish you lots of luck 
At least tonight you’re guaranteed a good time 

We’ve known you since we were at school 
And you’re the one who played it cool 
But now you’ve got a chain and ball 
I guess it happens to us all 

Try not to commit the ultimate crime 
By not arriving home on time 
Expect it all to work out fine 
With flowers, chocs and a bottle of wine 

All she’ll do is expect the worst 
Your good intentions are now cursed 
She’ll ask why you didn’t text or phone 
You’ll end up on the couch alone 

To achieve a long and happy marriage 
You’re the horse – she’s the carriage 
She’s in charge – but you’re in control 
Just take her where she wants to go 

Now you’ve said the words I do 
What’s yours is hers – what’s hers is too 
Steer clear of trouble – avoid the strife 
We wish you both a happy life
