The invitation spelled my name
“Eileen,”
which I don’t do.
We’ve
never met the bride and groom;
Her
parents, though, we knew.
We
skipped the wedding; sent a gift.
The
thank you came today.
I
laughed when I first read it;
This
is what it had to say:
“Thank
you very much for coming
To
our wedding and, as well,
For
the cookware set you gave us.”
Guess
they couldn’t really tell
That
among the many guests
Whose
bodies added to the scene,
There
were presents but no presence
Of
the fictional “Eileen.”
