The ode may be scrambled or basically fried And served with a battered pantoum A helping of light villanelle on the side A bowl of dressed ballads of doom And next a sweet sonnet with marmalade on it Washed down with a vintage haiku To finish a couplet Of tea with a chocolate The groom will then stand up and spew Ten guests may be heard with their own spoken word There follow the cake and the toast At the sound of the gong there is communal song The rule is twelve stanzas at most
THE RHYMING TIMES 
..I also enjoyed the portraits of the happy couplet, and the guest canapés!
