In this shotgun wedding, the bride
reufused to give child shotgun ride
or even side-saddled
just lying there addled
or thinking little roos must have more pride.

 

The bride told us Jesus was there
and Jesus said, “If Mary had dared
to have me tied down
and dragged around town
I’d be dead before hitting any stairs!”

 

For designers is this a do or don’t?
This will either catch on or it won’t.
If brides do say yes
to gowns collecting child mess
then make a killing (which is to say, don’t).
