Is a groom from Czechoslovakia,
a check mate?

It might as well be like chess, the king is useless and the queen
has the power

As it probably should be

Mail is only good when it isn’t
a bill

I just never knew there was so much falling
in matrimony

Falling, and, falling, in and out,
of love

Hopefully,
with the same person

Sometimes, mare age
is like an aging filly

If you horse around
she’ll pull out
her colt

A mare is also
the last name,
of night

A dream that thoughts in our sleep
don’t enjoy

But then how many people have died at, a
wake

It’s funny how couples that work,
are a match

A blazing beginning that goes
up in smoke

I like how, man and wife,
rhyme
with plan and life

My mind notices those kinds of things

Lucky me huh


Oh how they owe

The couple,
that stays

I mean, 33 years is a lifetime,
for a whole, pack
of dogs

Not to mention the buns
and, the mustard

They say you have to make every second count,
but heck!

That’s 1,040,688,000 of them already.. as of last year alone

Uh and still counting, thank you very nice!

I woke up the other day and noticed
we were moldyweds

Oops, I mean, oldyweds

Well, either way

Little did I know back then
that I was picking someone I would be
annoying
all her life

And just to be fair, vice a visa

Which is kinda like, versa visa, but
just a little more
expensive

They say it’s all about,
the chase

Unfortunately, that is so
true

The chaise lounge that is

Good grief I’m tired!

She tells me I don’t appreciate her
enough

But that’s not true, I take her for
granite
every, single, day

She’s, my rock

And I’m,
her road

She chills my temper, until
I scream

Our very first chapter
her lips, were a rose

Along with the cons
our book, is now
prose

33 years is a third
of a century

Turn the fraction to decimal
and you have, .333

If our marriage was a batter
he’d be the best hitter,
in the league

Which is really kind of nice
because
being with my wife

Has been like one long,
spectacular
home run


Okay next year..

Batter up!

Extremely clever writing Richy.

Makes me wish I would have waited to read it in the morning with a cup of joe. So much here to relate to and be entertained by.

You just keep bringing it Richy!  I love that you can be unabashedly corny in your absolutly delightful pun-play. You have the perfect mix of light heart and heart felt. I really apreciate your short stanza long poem style...it seems to keep flowing on and on.  It has made me strech a few of mine out.  Thanks!

Lori
