Poems
A Wedding is a Party
by Nicholas Gordon
A wedding is a party with,
Of course, a wedding cake.
But sometimes by the time it comes,
It's hard to stay awake.
People need to talk a lot,
And laugh and joke and kiss,
And cry - why do they cry? - and mention
God and love and bliss.
Two people have decided that
They'll share one house for life,
And call themselves, instead of friends,
A husband and a wife.
And so we have to get dressed up,
And eat a lot, and wait
For hours till they finally serve
The great big wedding cake.
