we were heading

to our wedding

and were sweating

clammily

for to falter

at the altar

would insult her

family

she suggested

that we rested

and ingested

our champagne

while her noted

poise eroded

she was loaded

once again

in the aisle

all a-smile

she beguiled

all her clan

but they dissed her

when she missed her

mark and kissed the

preacher man
