Royal Wedding

In the old Westminster Abbey
(from 1050 and finished 500 years later)
a glorious wedding took place
reminding the world's romantics
of another ill-fated couple
- the escapists felt redeemed.

(An aside, you wonder what
the groom's father felt, if anything).

The trees Eight 20-foot high trees,
six English Field Maple and two Hornbeam
adorned the vast space - ecologically sound.

The world stopped for a day
to dream away from wars, famines,
fights for freedom to hope
for better future to come
a young couple symbolizing
a union of well-suited individuals.

The fanfare, the hoopla
it was all for the world
to enjoy - what more could
we commoners want except
"to eat - ahem - the cake".
