Funny Marriage Woes

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Oh, what a sight to behold,
At the wedding, quite bold!
The bride, all eyes on her, she's not aware,
Of the cake she's about to share.

By the altar, she stood so near,
All her loved ones were full of cheer.
But with a sudden slip, her grip gave in,
And down went the cake with an awful spin!

The tiers of sweetness came crashing down,
Turning the bride's smile into a frown.
It splattered all over, icing and cream,
A wedding cake disaster, so extreme!

The groom stepped forward, held her hand,
As they both laughed, not quite as planned.
Together they turned this mishap around,
And made it a memory, forever renowned.

So, let this be a lesson to brides so bright,
That even mishaps can bring delight.
As long as you can laugh and not fret,
You'll have a wedding story you'll never forget!
