Putting My Feet in the Dirt 6

He was very sad and tearful

But she was never fearful

As he heard the fateful earful

The night of the rehearsal

Said in a manner sneerful

“The wedding is off.”

****

He at first was broken

From the words she had spoken

Sat on the church pew oaken

Holding her ring, his token

Rejected by his chosen

Sat and cried.

****

He had avoided all temptations

She piqued his imagination

Thought he’d risen to her station

But tonight her revelation

Had no crystal clear consolations

The man was devastated.
