'Tis one thing to invite me to a dance

for accept I will, when it is far away

but when the time draws near there is a chance

for me to change my mind upon the day.

And though I cherish thee as dearest friend

and send congratulations on your vow

best wishes and my love I still shall send

but confess I'm feeling antisocial now.

I'll send the card and gift I was to bring

up to your wedding dance this coming night

and of your love for Kerry I shall sing

and bless'd eternity be in your sight.

 And so, my dear Amanda, I bid you

 the happiest of times in marriage new.
