Best Man Poem by Ima Ryma

We became best buddies in war,
Serving together side by side.
My buddy had to leave the Corps,
When wounded and he almost died.
But he recovered pretty well
At home, while I stayed on to fight,
Till my retirement time from hell.
We reunited - all was right.
I got to meet his future wife.
And she liked me and I liked her.
I got to share in their new life.
I was the best best man, for sure.

The wedding guests all stared at me.
A best man - yes, a dog can be.
