Bertie got an invitation to a wedding in the post
On very special stationery from a very special host
It came in a gold envelope with lots of sealing wax
He thought it was a summons for some unpaid tax
He opened it so carefully with a shaky bunny paw
And read the invite then quickly dropped his jaw
Barely believing what it said so had a second glance
And it was meant for Bertie or a big mistake perchance
But there in big gold letters in copperplate of course
Beneath a family crest with a lion, unicorn and horse
“Mr & Mrs Bunny are invited to attend”~ so far so good
“A very special wedding next week in Bluebell Wood”
Bertie shouted out to Bessie who was in the other room
That his lovely niece Angora had found herself a groom
Bessie read the invitation and frowned a little frown
“The invite says “formal” and I haven’t got a gown”
Bertie told her not to worry and put on his thinking cap
Then he had a bright idea ~ he’s such a clever chap
He said “wear your wedding dress and with a little cash
We’ll buy some pretty ribbon to tie round it as a sash”
Bessie tried her dress on and Bertie smiled with pride
As he clearly remembered the day she was his bride
So off they went to Bluebell Wood smiling all the way
Just as much in love and happy as on their wedding day
