Sheila

i noticed at one of my weddings
being stung
against my face
by a handful of white
rice
flung
from a former flame, by the name
of Sheila.
she had quite the arm.
she almost put my new wife's
eye out
using a whole pound of uncle
Ben's finest
rice.
we had welts all over us.
rice stuck in our ears,
our noses, our eyes.
it took us the whole honeymoon
getting the rice out of our
hair.

she was mad at something.,
i guess,
but i did invite her
to the wedding,
and we had cake, so what's 
the deal, Sheila?
