Semper Fidelis
By highway67
Part II
They drove to the airport after closing time,
The lunar afterglow highlights their hair,
The turbulence made him terrified
But she still smiled there.
Next came Nevada's target point,
Like a hit on "Land and Sea".
The ground lit up with
Casino constellations
And neon bibles, row by row.
He gave her the seaside wedding she wanted
(almost)
with blue suede carpet and a
superstore synthesizer.
The minister dressed up as a sea captain.
Theresa giggled and loved the joke.
Then came the cap'n's cue card vows,
Then the "I do's", then came now.
They kissed and Gus said, "I love you, Corn Chip".
Theresa whispered through the rental veil,
"Semper fidelis."
Then came the honeymoon suite
It wasn't very neat
He apologized but she said,
"Say no more and dance with me."
No reception
But a turn of the knob
Turned on the radio
And they slow danced all night long.
The little private
And the corn chip girl,
Green suit and blue dress
Were no longer in distress.
