Everything was wonderful
They were so much in love.
They planned their wedding
for two thousand and six.
On the day of the wedding
before the thrown confetti
and the ribbons tied to
the honeymoon car
the attendees and the bride
waited and waited
for the groom and his best men
to show
but the groom decided he liked
the company of the best man
more than the love of his future wife
while he and the best man got insensibly drunk
until the groom sobered up and
got to the church after the bride
had ended the relationship with
the unreliable groom
and eventually married
a more punctual man.
