For Audrey

Irresistible eyes my baby, Cupids bow lips my sweet, Rosy red cheeks my angel, Long flowing hair so neat, Delicate ears so shell like, A smile that melts my heart, That's how I see you my darling, and pray that we're never apart. Thirty-seven years together have passed in the blink of an eye, Three Daughters and lots of enjoyment just made those years pass by, St John's in the Parish of Fulbourn on a Saturday early in May, The Reverend Bolt in attendance telling us just what to say. You carried a bouquet of roses golden just like your hair, The walk down the aisle was enchanting and just like walking on air, Our family and friends together in the church yard under the boughs, For the photos of a magic occasion when we partook of our vows.

Excellent rhyme and rhythm, Peter, the style I like. This one must have earned you some points, I'm sure. Brilliant!
