| She better hope I'm never a bride Two days grace is more than I can face, Three is a catastrophe, So I'm saving it for later, when the casualties will be few and exceedingly far between...
I love her, I do a sister is a sister.. I suppose that's why she chose pink
Its the ultimate: "Play Barbie for me!"
So when she pulled a dress that matched the bubblegum I was suddenly choking on I couldn't say no
It'll go quite lovely with my high & not quite tight, tattoos, and scar tissue But I'll not bother to argue
Make-up is a many splendored thing You can paint "votre tout-petit" pretty, Pose me as your crystalline rose, a spot of broken in your bouquet it'll go unnoticed, that's ok
I love you, too.
Just know my Barbie, mon petit that should I find my "Rob" or "White" you'll be playing Zombie queen for me, A virtuous rose devoured by my beasts | |

| So glad to have found this delightful piece this morning. I have often thought that the way we plaster a sickly layer of manufactured sentiment on the proceedings a bit weird. £500 for a dress that is worn only once, the bride veiled in virgin white with her two children as bridesmaids trailing behind her and the groom who has been so fortified with Dutch courage that he has to be supported physically by the bride’s brother who he can’t stand etc.
You have made me feel your contempt for this charade; yep I’m with you all the way, it has the bonus of being well written too.
Exalt
Regards Cari

| *snickers* The only better revenge IMO would be waiting until you're both older for you to marry, so her silver hair goes nicely with the black lipstick. Made me chuckle at the end, and I may use that last line as my inspiration for today's Daily Poetry Prompt. *exalt*, of course! | |

| An apparently light hearted poem that conveyed a serious message.. This was picked up by Carousel and I found myself going along with everything she said. The whole rigmarole is nothing but a moneymaking farce. My wife and I drove up to the Registrar's Office in our old Morris Minor, and had ten people to lunch. We also waited for two years before we could afford to have kids. 49 years later, we're still together. There must be a moral (and possibly another poem) there somewhere.

Had We But Worlds Enough, And Time . . . | November 5th 2013, 11:57 am by Jamie | I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.
Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the past few months' activities, I do not have the time to properly govern the use of this site anymore. While there are visitors every day, the posts by members are becoming fewer and farther between, and the staff participation is just as sparse.
