Fraser's Wedding (Free verse) by Stephen Robins
At last we arrived, On Fraser's special day, The vicar was half dead, And the best man was a gay. The congregation numbered sixty, Reflecting Fraser's lack of friends, But hardly surprising, Given how is face offends. The drinking started at three, And the dinner was not 'til eight, There were fist-i-cuffs, Over the last, fetid canapé. The dancing followed speeches, Which were a tad risqué, The best man demanded a chance, To catch the bride's bouquet. The evening degenerated, Into a scrum of drunken souls, The men danced like spastics, And the women like new born foals. All in all the hangovers, Reflected a very pleasant day, The bride was ace, the groom was fat, And the best man was a gay.

Sounds like a typically English celebration.

Beautiful.

It was pretty good; there were the usual English roses out of their head on smack trying to avoid the leering advances of the corpulent godparents of the groom whilst their other halves tried to revive their faded youth by dancing like they were searching for an ASBO to the Pet Shop Boys.

Did they get Dark Angel to write a speech (or, even better, the vows...)?

O happy day! I feel almost like I was there (or maybe saw some grainy pictures). Did he wear a corset to sausage his girth into a tux? Did his stays creak as he waddled toward his ace bride?

4th stanza was nearly a coffee spitting experience from cracking up. For using fisticuffs i have to rob the queens sword and wipe it on your lapelle.

Fuckin hoot, and the best man with a bouquet is something i want to forget but is like a friggin pussycat dolls chorus and haunts me to a rage.

Great poem for that friday feeling.

typo line 8 - not that you probably care.

Thanks for the feedback, I was feeling fairly dispirited after God's wife had a bad case of PMT and started calling me a dill.

GW has sent that same comment to dozens of poems - or if not her then a hacker or prawne.

Disappointing considering your track record.
