He may not be a poet With lines that amuse He may not be a scholar with diplomas showing dues He may not enlighten With his complicated views But can fix the car by seven Have the wash out on the line Grass mowed by eight thirty And breakfast done by nine He may not tell a joke right The punch lines over looked And popular Mechanic maybe his favorite kind of book! But if he's got a dollar You've got fifty cents And if your fence needs men den Fixed is what it gets! He my not know astrology Edgar Allen or Van Gouh He may not use the salad fork He thinks that its for show! And bush maybe his favorite choice When its time to order wine But standing six foot seven The light bulbs get replaced And teaching his sons the simple things Brightens up his face A master at mechanics A third class engineer He keeps the old cars running And the essentials working here! Never has a harsh word, patience by the score And here my friends you have it The man that I adore For my Honey... Tori 99 |

Gee Tori! Sounds like you were describing me? Well, except for the "being able to fix cars" and that yard mowing, and the breakfast thinggie, and the six foot seven, and sharing my last dollar, and the never a harsh word, and having patience etc....but...other than those few things I'm just like that?....LOL.....very well done gal!!!! |

I loved it. I know someone just like that, but you said it best! He seems to be a lucky man to have you, and you a lucky woman to have him. I can sense the True Love between the two of you by reading this! How Wonderful! =) Justina |
