Melvin's Wedding

Six years ago on Melvin’s birthday
Veronica came for feast
In America I was away
Awoken by busy sounds
Melvin drove his bride
For the start of the new ride
Seven thirty at the rooftop loft
A day of joy and aircon soft
All in red the two mothers dress
Flanking the aisle
Where Veron’s arm was handed to Melvin
Bittersweet tears in giving
For a practical marriage address
In the words of wise
For the man and wife
Melvin spoke of our late dad
Whom Uncle Jimmy said whose fortune had just stopped just that
Ending the ceremony with the tea
Second in line I drink
Marks Melvin and Veronica’s new life together
To fulfill their vows this life thereafter
