What do you say?
We were at a wedding recently that they didn't do the "normal" clinking of the glasses thing to make the bride and groom kiss. You had to come up with a limerick to get them to kiss. One guest (relative) came up with one that ended with something like "we're glad that this marriage isn't gay" (rhymed with "USA" which is where they were from). Maybe it wasn't intended to come out as gay bashing, but that's how it seemed to us. We were tempted to answer that with our limerick but it would have been too confrontational and a distraction from the whole reason for being there. So I've decided to blog the limerick that we didn't feel we could say there (which was too bad).

As he sipps him in:
"Hello, Smith! You're loudly! How am I?"

Although I think its a little distasteful, maybe they're intentions weren't really bad, or gay bashing. It's one of the things they've picked as a hot topic in the news. I'm tired of hearing about it. Just like I'm tired of hearing about the Gomery inquiry, and the NHL strike. Maybe they, like everybody else were just commenting on the media's attention to gay marriage, and are glad that they don't have to put up with it at this event.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, my bad. So 5 lines:
