On the bleakest day autumn could muster
In a church to which theyâll not return
I thought back to a time when I could trust her
To a time when there wasnât John Byrne
And in a cruel twist of fate which so often
Occurs in tales such as this
I found myself catering reception
And there were urges I had to resist
Not least âcos John Byrne is much fitter
And the straightener to him holds no fears
So if the chocolate in the fountain tastes bitter
Itâs because itâs been laced with my tears
Celebrations were well underway when
Her father prayed silence and spoke
He said: âItâs not like Iâm losing a daughterâ
As violently starting to choke
And in a gesture which said Iâm fast fading
Could somebody dial 999?
He valiantly toasted my capers
With a glass of what he thought was wine
It was gone half past ten before folk cottoned on
By which time Iâd landed in Wick
So if whatâs in the fondueâs to die for
Itâs got nothing to do with the cheese
And if whatâs in the punchbowl seems lethal
Itâs because itâs two thirds anti-freeze
