Mango’s My wife would have me feel the mangos But I would rather wheel the tango As she passes me her daily list On all of which she does insist. We lead a regimented life As do we all who have a wife Although it’s share and share alike There’s no such thing as go on strike. I would she rather smile the day Then be a bear of cross dismay She has a very forceful mind But does not have a bone unkind. We row the river stroke by stroke But I would rather joke-by-joke. Never wavers her stern of turn And I would rather cool than burn. I love her dearly as all can see That is as dearly, as can be. |

She has a very forceful mind But does not have a bone unkind. ========================== I love her dearly as all can see That is as dearly, as can be. ========================== Your rose of suppose sets dragon fires and inspires your pen to begin again. Me thinks she is a very lucky woman. You get extra hugs for the heart on sleeve sincerity of this gem. Maybe if ya give it to her...she'll give ya the day off and Randy wont have to go on strike  *L*  |

Hello! Was thinking of the mango as I read you. How well the fruit ripens over time. Thought of the comfortable patterns that we get used to, especially in partner... Now did I tell you, that the other day...I was walking in the market with my list...and the mango reached up and gave me a squeeze...as if to say, "You had the idea!" It seems, you do hold the list my lord. Great write. Very best regards, ThisDiamond |

sy? It took me 25 years to get to the altar...but I wouldn't have hesitated a nanosecond if I thought I'd have what the two of you share...amazing...kisses to the both of you! oh...and? it was the title that got me here, as it reminded me of still yet another "true serenity story"--just an example of how I get my way with the boyfr---ooops...husband! I wanted mangoes...but dang it they were rather pricey, and the hub-man was just shaking his head "no." So I proceded to follow him around the grocery, mango's held at *ahem* chest level, saying, "please...they want to BE with you!" grinning...I got my mango's... |

Seymour darling boy Ohhhhh how I loved this one I really really do. There is something so beautiful about a couple who walk together in step with each other, through time and in spite of it. This is a perfectly fabulous read the metaphor, the joie d’vivre that is coloured by your irrepressible good humour and I love it utterly. As always darling heart I love it but really do love this one it is really something special you’ve written here. Indeed I swear that Isabelle is singing arias of delight As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

This is a darling poem, Sy....as well as a fine tribute to marriage... It sounds like yours has been a long, loving relationship....and who can ask for much more than that in a marriage.  ~ hugs from a chipmunk who is married to a teddybearLyra |
