A friend gives his daughter in marriage today. This limericked pair marks the nuptuals and celebrates fathers of brides. Who but a parent understands the wonder, wariness, mayhem and merriment of the wedding of a beloved child now grown?

Father of the Bride -

A Limericked Pair for a Papa with Flair

.

The spiffiest papa this hour,

Beholding his lovely young flower.

Adorned all in white,

This beautiful sight,

He wished he could stash in a tower.

.

But walls wouldn't hold hands of time,

Not stave off this moment sublime.

With eyes closed, he gasped.

His child's grip he grasped

And up to the altar did climb.

    Very good but some portion at the end is not readable since some adds overlaping it. Thanks anyway for this piece. phil
