It all began in earnest
when I dropped the ring.
It hit the floor
and started to sing.
It rolled out the door
and down the hall.
It's an expensive thing
I bought at the mall.
Had a mind of its own
and bounced down the stairs.
Don't know how it's done,
Frustration split my hairs.
Skipped down the street
and into a drain.
What a fool!
Where was my brain!
What could I do!
My butt was grass.
I proposed to my love
with a cheap piece of brass.

LOL I had to laugh out loud with this one. Good form and loved the continued rhyme throughout. Well done to the prompt.

Rings are often lost and it is never funny at the time!
Your telling of the tale is enhanced by your fun rhyme.

Yes! Yes! This is so absurdly funny but with such a touch of realism. I think of all of the nervous tension going into the big day and the many little things that might go wrong but end up making the ocassion all the more special! One typo but other then that it's delightful!

Heh heh...oh dear ~ what a plight! I'll bet there are quite a few who can relate to this sorry tale.
You might want to adjust the word 'pice' (piece) in your last line.
Thank you for your funny entry, and best of luck in the contest.
