Street Light Caveat
by
Wesley A. Storer
The Wedding guests were assembled
As golden shafts of glowing light
Formed a pastel prismed bow
Just before the wedding march
Would their faith and love extoll
joining eternal the bride and groom
In tender devotion's eternal bloom
When suddenly the bride dissembled
A familiar memory made her tremble
She sees an old blinking street light
Winking and blinking thru the night
It always waylayed her girlish fright
Winking and blinking thru the nights
From her window she sees it bright
As rocking shadow branches played
With its yellow crescent they swayed
Winking and blinking sweet dreams
Saying I love yous thru the night
That old street light shining bright
Winking and blinking through the night
'Do you take this man to be
His lawful wedded wife.'?
