If I Get Married - Poem
Ranked #4,925 in Books, Poetry & Writing, #181,436 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund
Well, the Royal Wedding has been and gone, without undue incident
Every maiden fantasizes about her wedding.
Here's my wedding fantasy, in poetic form - a stupendous affair with opulence and romance beyond compare.
My real wedding, by the way, was a bit different!

Here's my Poem - "If I Get Married"
(I should be so lucky!)
If I Get Married
The wedding will be so exclusive
that even the bridegroom won't know where it is.
My dress will be opulent silk
delivered personally by an unsmiling Mandarin
from the nether regions of Outer Mongolia,
borne in an intricately carved jade coffer
(like a posh coffin, but easier to carry)
with ornate Chinese lions guarding each corner.
Flowers will be flown in
from the botanical gardens in Rondebosch
and Balchik in Bulgaria.
The Salute will come from a thousand and one Kalashnikovs
Imported from the hills of Tora Bora.
There will be no present list at Harrods
Because, at the age of eighty-eight,
I don't need anything really.
©Diana Grant 26th September 2008
