Annie’s Happy Marriage

Annie’s wedding was held in a small Chinese restaurant

She invited some of her friends and acquaintances

There were nine tables in the restaurant

There were four kinds of dishes served on four silver trays

There were fish sticks on the first tray

There was fried noodle on the second tray

There was boiled spinach on the third tray

There was white rice on the last tray

The enormous one-and-a-half-metre-tall cake was in the centre of the room

Annie called it the “Happiness Cake”

Nobody ate the fish sticks, because there are more sticks than fish in them

Nobody ate the fried noodle, because it wasn’t fried

Nobody ate the boiled spinach, because it was cold

Nobody ate the white rice, because there was nothing else to be paired with it

Nobody ate the “Happiness Cake”, because it was made of polystyrene

But at least everybody clapped when Annie split the “Happiness Cake”

But at least everybody cheered when Annie kissed

And at least Annie’s happily married now
