Happily Wed

He blows his fortune on poker and rummy She lives by the fridge where life is so yummy With vows long ago said They're now happily wed He to his gambling and she to her tummy Are this couple truly happily wed Is the wife happy because she’s well fed His poker and rummy Is not at all funny Something tells me that the romance is dead __Belle Bellevue 12/20/22 Add-On

This poem made me think of the nursery rhyme, Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean (a little bit) This Jack though, should stay home for his wife's chocolate cake that would be yummy and better than rummy. I like this clever poem. :0)

I think I'll play it safe and not offer them any advice--I found this to be a smart thing to do! Discretion is a better part of valor. Glad you like it, Robert

So funny ! I wish to meet this couple and ask if they are really happy. They may not be happy together, but could be happy in heir own individual way. Well done Robert.

In my observations, it's happier than a lot of long-term marriages. Glad it gave you a laugh! Happy, healthy and enriching new year!

Funny. I guess, "out of sight out of mind", love in limbo turned blind! Hmmm, I'm going to check what's in the fridge!...ab

Are this couple truly happily wed - Is the wife happy because she’s well fed - His poker and rummy - Is not at all funny - Something tells me that the romance is dead.….. Belle

Lol. This totally reminds me of a poet friend who was in Vegas a few weeks back with his wife, I read he lost everything on roulette, I just hope they are still together! Fingers crossed.

A marriage of mutual convenience I suppose. Thank you, Kim.
