Wedding Rings Poem by Ima Ryma

After school to the store we'd come.
On the way home we had stopped so
He could purchase some bubble gum.
Then homeward bound we two did go.
He offered me a piece to chew,
Which I did take and did thank him.
Then suddenly he said us two
Should just get married on a whim.
He made it sound so exciting.
So I just giggled and said yes.
And each of us put on a ring.
Marriage was so easy, I guess.

Round wrappers from bubble gum sticks,
When I was five and he was six.
