Bakery: The Wedding Cake
Bakery: The Wedding Cake
Dionne A. Reid
Bakery. Bakery.
The call is for a Bride and Groom.
Bake us a cake to be served after "Noon."
Welcomed is a baby or two,
If they are delivered, when our wedding date is due.
Bake us something sweet; for the tradition of something old, something new, and something blue.
A table for six or perhaps eight,
Let's call it the ABC Table, for the little children who couldn't miss our wedding date.
Cheese and crackers, something to nip before the extravaganza meal.
The photographers takes pictures; and the videographer's camera continues to wheel.
In addition to presents, and money in cash;
Forthcoming children will be GIFTS; in our lineages of the past.
With something to drink, we will partake;
The first slice of our wedding cake.
It is a symbolic dessert that we will share with our guests.
It comes with our kiss, and a toast for everyone who is gathered;
Wishing us all the best !
With tiny bells and our circular wedding rings;
Later we will have disco dancing, and loves songs; that make our guests ask,
Who is that -- That sings?
