This is a poem my brother wrote to read at my wedding reception. My Dad told him he couldn't (rightly so...)
The part about the caulk is...my husband was working in the backyard and it started to rain, his dad threw some tubes of caulk inside our grill so they wouldn't get wet.....and forgot about them until he fired it up...need i say more??
(In an english accent)
Scott and Devon got married today
It's only the beginning there's much more to say...
In an empty new house Scott gave her a ring
the house since finished it is quite a thing
With sod and paint and sinkholes galore
getting this far has been quite a chore
SCOTT'S CAULK IS ON FIRE!!!
But please don't fret... Your married now Devon
Get his caulk wet!
You are all sick that's not what I meant
Now Scott's over here pitching a tent
Scott I hope your happy with this sister of mine
Keep your caulk out of grills and I'm sure you'll do fine.

I should say....my brother is hilarious. We already had our wedding, and he didn't read it. Before the wedding all the guys were playing A$$hole...mature, i know...but they made a rule that had to last all night. Whenever someone tapped their fork on their glass, everyone had to yell YAAARRR! like pirates, and we had to kiss. So during my DAD"S toast, my brother yells out in a pirate accent..."AYE! HERE'S TO GOOD SEAMEN!" Everyone there just about died...it was hilarious....my mom almost killed him.

He did actually give a real toast and told us how he felt! I think my husband and I thought it was funnier than anyone else did...that is just our sense of humor!

That was SO funny!!!!......actually...with my family, it could have been read. You are right, your brother is hilarious and pretty darn good in the poem writing department too. You sound like a very happy family and congratualtions on the marriage. With a sense of humor, your marriage will last a lifetime. Love each other, Learn from each other and Laugh together. Good Luck to you Both !!!!

Its funny & sounds pretty good, but I dont think its appropriate for a wedding reception, unless its only family & close friends, u know people close to u that have a good sense of humor, but b4 or after its read, make sure he (or u) explain the caulk part.

Yes I think it is funny and yes I think it was right not to read it at the reception. Remember your brother was trying to be funny and did not mean any harm to you or Scott. My brother does things that I don't always agree with and I do things that he doesn't agree with that is just the was brothers and sisters are. We each have a different way of thinking whats funny. I have a warped sense of humor at times so i can appreciate your brother. Don't be angry at him enjoy the poem and remind him of his poem when he is old and gray. Or maybe try to read it at his child's wedding and see how that would go over with him. Na that might not be a good thing to do.

Ok for a shower or bachelor party, but TACKY TACKY TACKY for a wedding. I actually didn't think it was all that funny, but maybe if I'd been drinking I'd laugh.
The transition from getting the house in order to caulk on fire is missing, as is the reason for the wet caulk- so as a poem, it's not so great.

Funny is a good thing, when done at the right place and time. You and your husband had a right to choose what happens in your wedding. It is a cute poem, albeit a bit juvenile in a Mad Magazine kind of way.

It is funny but not for a wedding reception. Good Luck it sounds like your brothers a laugh.

Maybe for the after rehearsal dinner since that will be close friends & family in a casual atmosphere. I think it is a bit too suggestive for the wedding.

I liked it and it all depends on how he decides to say it at the weeding. I don't know what a calk is but make sure everyone know the story about the calk so when the poem is mention they won't think of anything else.

funny, but might not be appropriate or appreciated at a wedding reception.
if it has to be recited, make sure you have some visuals (ie. subtitles of poem, or pictures) to show which CAULK you are referencing (maybe show a picture of the cauling tubes in a grill).
He should listen to your dad.

It's not something that should be read at a classy event such as a wedding. Plus, there are guests who probably didn't understand the poem so it could come off as totally offensive towards them.
