Sample -- Wedding toast
We're
gathered
here today
As Dina marries young Heron,
The one we know as Monkey
Or our little hot cross bun.
They've
always
had a special bond
A genuine connection;
It grew in friendship's greenhouse
And matured to shared affection.
We
wish for them
a household
Filled with features they prefer:
A 60-inch TV for him
And thirty cats for her.
Their
children
will inherit
All that makes them so unique --
Their mother's cooking skills,
Their father's musclebound physique.
We
wish for you
tomorrows
Bright & hope-filled as today;
May each day hold the promise
Of an eat-your-fill buffet.
