The Wedding Bells

The union of
the bride and the groom.
A happy future
built in dreams
Preparations go on
in full swing

"Traditional is passe"
The new generation vows
to bring in a change
Nothing new, Nothing new
All's the same

The menu card comes
promising a huge bill.
Frowned faces,and cost cutting,
Faces invited, gifts purchased
An useless pleasing

The missing piece of
vegetable in the broth,
discussed in my absence
the diety not pleased
And God feeds on my poverty

Jingle Jingle
The wedding bells ring
Bring out the banjo
Dance and sing
and let my pockets
empty within
