About This Poem

My Favourite Dish


MY FAVOURITE DISH

I met her some twenty years ago
Underneath a September moon's glow
We talked later on the phone
And soon two hours time was gone

We set a date for Friday night
I prayed that all would be just right
As we listened to “Unchained Melody”
I knew she was the one for me

The years together have been so good
I never doubted that they would
God has granted my fondest wish
And now my wife is my favourite dish


	Curtis Moorman

    Congratulations Curtis. Glad you found your favorite dish. I found mine and next month we will celebrate 50 years. I tell her I married her because she had excellent taste in men.

    Bob: Congratulations on your 50 years with your favorite dish. I agree with the good taste part.

    Man, I never thought the Righteous Brothers could cause a man to want to get married, but between them, the September moon, and Ruth's good looks, I just could not help myself.

    Murray: I'm from the "old school" where terms like that meant a great deal to our sweetheart or wife. I think we need to do it more often. Thanks for your support.

    Thanks, Francine! I have been responding to nearly all comments in Soup Mail only to discover that not everyone checks their Soup Mail as frequently. I have been chastised for not commenting on other poets work without realizing that I should have been checking for newly posted poems. I promise to do better in the future.
