Mr. and Mrs. Wright
By Beth Winchcombe and Jack Horne
Where was her Mister Right?
He was nowhere in sight.
He wondered, "Could there be
A girl out there for me?"
No matter how hard she tried
Always the bridesmaid – never the bride!
At weddings, it's his doom:
The best man, not the groom.
She'd look at a dating site,
hoping to find a Mr. Right.
He'd join a dating site;
Yes, go for it tonight!
Could she give that a try?
She might find a guy.
Would anyone respond?
A brunette or a blonde?
The first one was rather stout.
She ruled him out.
A wrestler winked her eye:
He trembled, hoped to die.
Could "looks, unimportant" mean
He was handsome, tall and lean?
No, she was just too bold;
And not the sort he'd hold.
Pride goes before a fall...
...here goes, she'd give it her all.
He looked into her eyes,
While smiling with surprise.
She tossed her bride's bouquet;
He loved their wedding day!
