Bad Poetry

Over the years, I've seen and heard my share of bad poetry at weddings. Poetry that was meant to substitute for vows, poetry written to the in-laws, poetry that was meant to inspire. But most of it has been simply . . . bad poetry.

Stuff like:

Sure as the vine twines round the stump,

You are my darlin' sugar lump.

Or

I've got a pick-up truck, two dogs,

And a longin' to be freed.

But darlin' you know,

You've really got me treed!

No, you really want to offer good poetry from the masters if you are going to offer poetry at a wedding. And great poetry will also save you money. Just think of all the money you'll be saving in post-marital counseling fees if you go with the good stuff!
