A wedding dress is what I would like, <br />So to a wedding shop then, I must hike, <br />To choose a dress, that is my aim, <br />One that will suit my voluptuous frame. <br /> <br />Now how does one begin to acquire, <br />Such stylish and suitable attire, <br />The choice is really overpowering, <br />Where to start is really quite cowering. <br /> <br />There are satins, chiffons, silks and tulles, <br />Oh my goodness, how my mouth drools. <br />So what now am I going to buy, <br />I suppose each one I'll have to try. <br /> <br />Diamonds sparkle, sequins flash, <br />Diamante to add a bit of a dash, <br />Frills and flounces, drapes and folds, <br />Such a variety my eye beholds. <br /> <br />In colours of so many hues, <br />Pinks, lemons, lilacs, greens and blues, <br />Creams and whites for formal brides, <br />Whatever the choice, the bride decides. <br /> <br />There are strapless tops, and separate skirts, <br />This dress buying, it really hurts, <br />There are ones with trains a mile long, <br />Oh gosh, times flying, I must crack on. <br /> <br />I think I'll have the one that's dreamy, <br />The one that is so deliciously creamy, <br />There's lots of ruching and a fake fur stole, <br />I think this one has hit the 'goal'. <br /> <br />It will well cover up my significant bulges, <br />An excess of all my too many indulges, <br />And that makes me happy, so I'm happy to say, <br />Whatever the price, I'm happy to pay. <br /> <br />So there's the cash, and here's my dress, <br />I've got it now, so no more stress, <br />Thank you so much for all your advice, <br />I'll tell all my friends, you really are nice. <br /> <br />I'll send you a photo when the deed is done, <br />Before we jet off to the sun. <br />You've gone and really made my day, <br />So I wish you good fortune, all the way. <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wedding-shop/
