Do they always wear garlands?
I doubt it.
Still, the food’s good.
Weddings. They tell me the whole world’s watching,
On various channels.
I watch my grandchildren.
The schedule – another red carpet
Leads up to an aircraft;
My husband admires the hardware.
I’ve done it so often, I do it so often,
So many years since I was me.
Think of me:
The only one silent as they sing the National Anthem.
