Wedding Blues

Paul Bell

Jenny realised on her big day

Walking down the aisle

She was still in love with Ray

It was a hot day in May

The Groom was heard to say

The best man didn’t hear a thing 

He just kept touching the ring

The Priest was a worldly Joe

But even he didn’t know

The events to take place

When the bride began to slow

The Groom turned to see

His wife to be

Rose-coloured eyes

Just blinded the disguise

The Priest looked at the best man

Guilt written in bold

He had this awful feeling

How this was going to unfold

The bride stopped and turned around

Headed for the door

Never glancing back

This time she was sure

Ray touched the ring for the final time

Passing it to the Groom

Walking up the aisle

Totally over the moon.

 

The Groom was in total shock

The Priest stood bemused

The best man's girlfriend

Realised she had been used.

 

They met outside

Love was in the air

Or would have been

Had the girlfriend not shot the pair.

    lol
    'had the girlfriend not shot the pair
    while aiming
    between the groom's, sunken pair...'
    lol
    and I didn't miss, this gem of a poetic imagery:
    'Rose-coloured eyes
    Just blinded the disguise'
    (you keep sharing
    and I keep feeling
    evermore in debt, to witness
    your talent, dear Poet
    and so, all I can do
    is thank you! wholeheartedly
    again n again
    hoping you'll achieve
    whatever rewards, you aspire
    for this works of genuine
    brilliance)
    keep that Mighty pen, striving
    yearning, in its baby steps
    of Natural, evolution

      Crime of passion, she'll be out in thirty years.

        lol
        15 for 'good' behaviour..
        cos she's only a murderer
        now
        if she were a drug dealer:
        60? 90
        decades?! if she's got a damn good lawyer...
        lol
        ahhh the justice 'Business'!
