A poem I wrote as a basis for my fathers speech at my daughters wedding. It went down very well and I was on my feet for 40 mins hope you see the funny side.


My Daughters Wedding by M.A.Meddings

My special thanks to Aliena for writing the poem 'Dad of the bride' and a big hug and thank you for all those who showed an interest and gave us poetbays best wishes as a result.

Many thanks to you all. The Title of my speech was as the title of the poem.


Today Were Getting Rid of Bethy Boppo

By M.A.Meddings


Today were getting rid of Bethy Boppo
It's the bloody day we've all been waiting for
There is now no need to hide
Now that Beth's become a bride
And we'll have money in the bank after all

Now Damion he is such a lucky fella
And Beth is a lucky babe as well
But the luckiest ones of all
Are the parents walking tall
There no more furniture well have to sell

We have guests who came from all over the country
To attend both the families bit of a bash
You can eat of you fill
Then help to pay the bill
Because in truth we are really strapped for cash

Well Beth had the plans you should have seen em
A champagne Jacuzzi fit for a queen
But a little later on
When all the toasts are done
Well sell the rights to hello magazine

And dear guests you are all so invited
To breakfast with the couple what a treat
Then each one in turn
Your bums you can burn
In the bath that almost fills the bridal suite

I am sure the happy couple will not mind it
In fact they told me only days ago
That any one can see it
If you all do so be it
But did I here it right only last night
What is it? I'm a something so and so

There is something that I forgot to tell you
Please be sparing with the cake as it goes round
It looks like it's a dear one
But really it's a cheap un
And we hope to make it do and all is found

You see the happy couple just before you
What a lovely pair they look now
But some stories I could send
Would stand your hair on end
Just look at all the scars across his brow

Just a few year ago I had dark hair
And now just look its like the driven snow
Its our Bethy that's to blame
It so lucky that I came
But I couldn't miss the Chance to let you know

So now its time to toast the happy couple
Take up your glasses and be glad
If ya drunk it faster than you oughta
Then you'll have to do with water
We have no more to give you aint that sad

:) You're welcome, hero!
Your poem to Bethy Boppo is delightfully humoristic and tender at the same time. And the young bride is so radiant in the pics! I recommend everyone to take a look at them!
