Wedding Anniversary

entry picture

 

We’ve witnessed special highlights and some awkward moments too

As more than thirty August anniversaries by us flew;

But there’s no-one I would rather spend my life with more than you;

I love you, Judy Coopey, and suppose I always will.

And so I should think, John! (regarding next year's pressie) lol

Mind you, you did say more than thirty years, so don't think you got that wrong!

Many thanks for all the best wishes.
Our Gert did not see the romantic side of a present of a poem instead of jewellery - "f*kin' tight-fisted, cheapskate b*ast*d" was her critique, I think. So No, Steve, the initial promise was not fulfilled (unless you count self-fulfillment).
The anniversary was, in fact our 31st and not 30th, but it didn't scan - another point of contention with the punctillious and impenetrable Mrs C.
Once again, many thanks. Next year, though, something from the Argos catalogue and no poem.

Good man John

First duty of a poet is to praise his other half.

I`m sure Judy loves your little moggy

Lovely poem, and I wish you both a happy anniversary too!

(Thomas - re the bastard dog comment, I expect Judy had just written John a poem called "And I hate Your Effin' Cat!")

PS - She looks much too nice to write that though, I hasten to add!

Happy Anniversary to John and Judy.

This was a nice six liner to your Judy you old romantic; and a nice photograph of her.
But hey! John! Why did you write: "I hate your bastard dog." Underneath the Pic?
