Finding Love

She was from the East

He from the far West

Cupid struck, they met

Love happened

Tied the knot

In Registrars office

No guests attended

Money was scare

Went to a cheap Motel

With a bottle of champagne 

Popped open the bottle

"Cheers to our marraige"

Said the loving couple

Lying on the rickety bed

Plunged in darkness

Drenched in sweat

Bitten by bed bugs

Leaving red welts

Groom felt inadequate 

Bride advised not to fret

All would turn out well

And it did turn out well

Two lonely people

Felt so blessed

Finding each other

When others had left

Dentures in glasses

smiled back at them
