Wedding Day Headaches

Twas the day of my wedding

I awoke with a pain

"Oh no!" I thought groaning

Another migraine

I tried drinking coffee

I tried potions and pills

But nothing would help me

Get rid of my ills

Though I still felt

Nauseated and pale

I went to the hotel

With dress and my veil

I began to get ready

To marry my groom

When my mother and grandma

Burst into the room

"Why haven't you showered?

You're going to be late?!!

We'd have gotten here sooner,

But she made me wait!"

"Don't listen to Mother.

That's not the truth, dear.

I've waited for this day,

I ran to be here!"

She took my hands and said

"When I was a girl..."

She proceeded in Yiddish

I tried not to hurl

My mom interrupted

They started to bicker

My headache got worse

I felt sicker and sicker

"That's it, you two!

I can't take any more!

Get out of my room-

There is the door!"

My mom said "But dear,

Your hair's still a mess!

We're here to help.

We can button your dress."

"Thanks but my hair's done.

You just make me nervous.

Leave me alone.

I'll see you at the service."

In the hall, they still argued

But I smiled with glee

For when they left the room

My headache left me!
