Bridal Bliss - Marge's Challenge.

Mama get off that train,
I've told you ten times or more
you're tearing the back of my dress
and the taxi's at the door,
I know you are nervous dear mama
at giving your daughter away,
But you can't drag me down by the ankles
you're ruining my wedding day,
Mama get off that train,
you're pulling me back at the waist,
the congregation is waiting
I really must make haste,
Trust me, dear mama I'll show you
how wonderful marriage can be,
Although I'm only sweet sixteen,
and he is eighty-three.

Olias.

You GOT me!!! I was hearing some blues rhythms with this and my mind was even adding some "harp" for train whistles but I completely lost it at the end! But then? one never knows...there's a movie called "Harold and Maude" that shines among my favorites (but then...psssst! I'm a little 'odd' yanno--DON'T TELL ANYBODY  ) Thanks for the smile this morning!

Noah,
Your making me blush, your generous words have made my day, thank you so much, take care.

Marge,
You were the inspiration for the verse, and I think the bride ( sweet sixteen ), while I am just 83. Thank you kind poet.
