Oh do I have a new low in wedding poems for you...

This is so going to out me but I actually don't care. I went to a wedding this weekend. We had to buy our own evening meal and the invitation said "no presents please, cash gifts only". There was a wishing well at the reception to but cash into (ringing the bell as you did ). This morning I received this corker which, obviously, I needed to share with you at once...

Cash we asked for because cash we need
For our kitchen to proceed
Having checked our wishing well
We think some people might not have rung the bell.
If you’re one who has forgotten
Don’t sit at home feeling rotten
Just use the bank details at the end of this ditty
And you can still contribute to our kitchen kitty

hahahahaaa did Wally think that people would read this thread and decide that a wishing well for cash would be just the thing for their tasteful wedding?

Oops - I assumed that link was attached as a laugh. Although there is no doubt that the OP's original outclasses them all in all its hideous grabbiness.

Why did you report tiktok? Do you think I own a Wishing Well company?

GrowlLikeMargeSimpson · 21/07/2014 17:34

Grin. I think Wally may have misjudged the tone of the thread somewhat.

rumbleinthrjungle · 21/07/2014 17:34

Upon your poem we have chewed -
did you mean to be so rude?

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 21/07/2014 17:36

Wally's posts reported for advertising. ..Bwahahaha. Almost funnier than the OP

Thumbwitch · 21/07/2014 17:37

Holy cow that is the ultimate in rudeness!

Your poem sucked
And you can get fucked
If you think we're parting
With another farthing!

Thumbwitch · 21/07/2014 17:38

wally - always a good idea to put quotes round stuff you've pasted from another site if you don't want people to think it's you talking! Grin

HamAndPlaques · 21/07/2014 17:39

It doesn't even scan.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 21/07/2014 17:39

Yeh, i missed the point of the thread, because I'm that vague...

Anyhoo, i was trying to post links on a tiny phone, as I have never ever heard of a wishing well at a wedding, let alone seen one, as had others at the start of the thread.

Someone said that it was for nice notes - it absolutely is not, it's for cash.

There was a pdf list of truly awful poems to let people know that the wishing well was going to be at the wedding for monetary donations...and that they wanted money for savings, honeymoons and kitchens etc. but it's been deleted.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 21/07/2014 17:41

Thumb there were quotes around the post deleted - it was a link to a PDF about awful useful wishing well poems by the wishing well company.

Thumbwitch · 21/07/2014 17:42

Frozen - you got to the link, can you repost it with a caveat that it is FOR A LAUGH ONLY so no one reports it?

Thumbwitch · 21/07/2014 17:43

Were there, Wally? I didn't see it for long enough, but I did have to look twice at the big post that's still there, because for a minute there (until I read your name) I did wonder if you were serious.
I saw the link but didn't click on it because I was too keen to add my own doggerel so missed it :(

Mintyy · 21/07/2014 17:44

Amazing how quickly hq can delete a post when they feel like it, isn't it?

Thumbwitch · 21/07/2014 17:45

innit though.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 21/07/2014 17:47

Well Thumb I have dropped enough hints in the 10 years I've been a poster, mainly in the Living Overseas and Forces Sweethearts threads that I own a multi million pound UK Wedding Wishing Well & associated poetry business. So it was only a matter of time before the game was up, and the free adverts were over.

I'll come quietly MNHQ.

Pagwatch · 21/07/2014 17:49

Hahahaha

Piratejones · 21/07/2014 17:49

I think you are slightly overestimating the worth of your imaginary business....

WallyBantersJunkBox · 21/07/2014 17:51

You should know Pirate - as executive in chief of poetry. Wink
