We Gather Together

The ducks by the lake
Did not want to share their ramada
Not without some consideration
Bread more than wine

It was an uneasy peace
Their territory firmly marked
Our outsider status proclaimed

The bride in her wedding dress
Which trailed along in the dirt and worse
Stood her ground and peered into the sun
As the second replacement officiate
Read the vows off a sheet of paper
For her to repeat
Three words at a time
Because four got lost

The groom grinned calm
Remembering his part
But still lost in the sun
That gave shadows to all the pictures

The crowd stood by
In their suits
Dresses
And Halloween costumes
As the two pledged their love
Then beat a hasty retreat
From the land of the ducks

Luckily the reception was elsewhere
