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

Oh, sorry, maybe not me.

No, mazylou, not you. I xposted with you. Grin

Told my hairdresser about this today. She was horrified.
It's so awful, that it's actually REALLY funny.
I've been laughing about it ever since I read about it.
Didn't know that people were SO Crass!!

I had read it. I was trying to be funny.
I'll get me coat Grin

Pop her over your shoulder and do the jiggle walk/shoulder pat thing.

She'll be fine when she's had a nap.

Pagwatch · 29/07/2014 14:56

She won't puke will she?

AnnDaloozier · 29/07/2014 14:58

Hold her hair someone.

She's used to it

Poor Rowan...

Pagwatch · 29/07/2014 15:11

She is looking perkier.
I got her a bowl and a cold flannel and she seems to like it when I sing Peter Andres Mysterious Girl. I think she's going to be ok.

LineRunner · 29/07/2014 17:20

She really loves her codes.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 29/07/2014 17:33

I have an image of the MN office, neat and efficient, busy with people tapping morse code to each other and occasionally bobbing up from their desks and doing semaphore across the office over the partitions.

It's not like that really, is it?

Catsize · 29/07/2014 17:51

I think they have a lot of gin tea and wear nothing Boden and have pictures of semi-naked men Emmeline Pankhurst on the wall.

Thumbwitch · 29/07/2014 18:45

I was amused too Grin

Hope Rowan is feeling better after all that, Pag Wink

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 29/07/2014 19:11

Some tepid barley water in a zippy cup might do the trick for wee Rowan. Helps to settle upset tummies.

EthicalPickle · 30/07/2014 00:02

Sorry, but I still can't believe the poem is real. I've tried and tried to believe but I just can't Sad. It simply must have been sent as a joke. Confused

ABlandAndDeadlyCourtesy · 30/07/2014 00:07

"She really loves her codes."

This thread has kept me amused for over a week now.

Thanks OP - could this be the start of a series of horrors about this couple? Grin
