SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Challenge:  (A true story)  Gerhard Spitz and Martina Steindorf, both of Germany, were married in a Las Vegas casino recently in a "masked wedding." The pair were the winners of a radio contest in Germany where listeners matched the most compatible and most popular couple. The couple had only spoken once before the wedding, when the groom proposed to the bride on-air before they were flown to Las Vegas for their wedding. At the ceremony, the couple were masked until they were pronounced husband and wife. The groom then kissed the shaking bride, saying "It's fate that we are joined." The happy kids honeymooned in California, where the groom said "We're going to get acquainted."

kat's Comments:  Oh, well, off the top of my head, no planning. Not what I thought was going to come out, but there ya go, a little levity perhaps.**BG**


A disembodied voice she heard
Every woman's longed-for query
On the aethers of the radio
He asked her, "Will you marry me?" 

How desperate they had been
Or working out old karma
Rearranging past life trials
Decreed by heartless mamas.

No matter about a dowery
No knowledge of occupation
At least they knew their children
Would result from the same nation!

Instead of castle battlements
And chests of silken dowry
A neon-lit Las Vegas club
Was their brazen marriage bowery.

So, listen next time, carefully,
Old maids and gentle men, for dates
Among the voices on the radio
One might become your soul mate!
