Hey ! Hey !
Clarissa and Chris
to be wed!
by
The Poet Lariat
Chelsea plays Manchester
South versus North,
Two lovely people
Both of high worth:
Blonde and, well, “hair-free”
Happy and carefree,
Lots of good vibes
And always much mirth!
My mobile phone jangled
As I drove my red carriage;
“I’d like your daughter’s hand
“In trust and in marriage,”
Said this Mancunian voice.
Plucking up all its courage;
“Blimey!” I exclaimed,
Taken aback by a mile,
Then “Certainly!” I retorted
With a big beaming smile.
Now it’s fixed
For the South Downs
In Singleton Church
The beauty of that valley
Makes all our hearts lurch
Its not only lovely
It won’t cost a million;
And the reception itself’s
In the Cricket Pavilion!
The dress has been bought
And a canopy too
For the Nuptial Knees-Up
Which will draw quite a few
From London ‘nd North
And all points of the compass
Let’s hope they don’t make
Too much of a rumpus!
(If they do, the South Downers
Could pop in and thump us!)
No, the bride and the bridegroom,
Looking marvellous together,
Will up the vibrations
Whatever the weather,
And our hearts will all melt
When we see, hear and feel,
Their great love and their joy
As church bells start to peal !
Verses-Made-to-Measure

PS There’s been a quiet rumour
Though it might just be humour
That the appellation Grey-Bird
May from t’altar just be heard
Or might it be Bird-Grey?
Rhyming with Happy Birthday?
Or could it be just The Clarissa Bird
Who emerges creamy-white, veiled and glossy-winged,
Gliding all gorgeous
Down the aisle from the verbals?
(watch Twitter and Facebook
Over the next few months
For more on this nomenclature debate!
And no silly jokes meantime please, about Tweeting and Twittering and high-flying Clarissa Jane Bird and Christopher James Bird !)
