( 5 Votes )Marrying the Ugly Millionaire
Here comes my mother carrying
Dried flowers for my hair.
This afternoon I’m marrying
The ugly millionaire.
Here is my sister with the veil.
Everyone wants to share
My lucrative unholy grail –
The ugly millionaire.
There are our presents, wrapped and tied.
Soon they will fill the room.
All marked (no mention of the bride)
Attention of the groom –
No Dior, no St Laurent, no frills,
No full Le Creuset set.
Only my father’s unpaid bills,
My brother’s gambling debt,
Demands beyond and way above
What would be right or fair.
I hate the grasping lot. I love
The ugly millionaire.
