A careless cherub
fell in the punch bowl
nearly drowning himself
in tropical fruit and vodka.
Upon extricating himself
from the frigid slush
(with help from no one, mind you)
he folded his arms
and fervidly danced
around the room
like a mad russian in heat.
His face burned
bulbously red
as he laughed and danced
on table and chair
throwing back his head
spewing pineapple chunks
across the crowded room
'til I put
the little b****** down
with one of his own
friggin' arrows.
Nothing displeases me more
than a drunken cherub
at a wedding reception.
(The pineapples weren't bad tho')

delightful read which reminded me a lot of my wedding only i couldn't catch the darned fake by his halo which was awkwardly askew hanging over his eyes, as was mine, blinding me... he was way too quick and what really pissed me off is that he seemed to know in advance it was all a joke.... flowers down the trail smashed and smeared by feet thinking they were moving forward down an aisle to some kind of bliss which was all in our minds.... punch bowl, indeed.... i wish i caught the sucker.... i woulda punched him out before the ring went on my finger...

but in retrospect, that's how i got hooked on the vodka to begin with...

thanks for the read.

peace.
