Ain'T Love Grand

I met you in the springtime In the merry month of May I didn't care that you were old Or that your hair was grey I didn't care you had no teeth Or that you weighed a ton I brought you flowers and candy And then I called you 'hon.' I didn't care you'd been in jail For knocking off your spouse Or that you wore an ankle bracelet And couldn't leave your house The fact you smoke three packs a day And drink a quart of gin Just made me want to leave my wife So we could live in sin But of all the joyous attributes That you bestow on me The thing I love in about you the most Is the fact you won the lottery

Love is grand, divorce is fifty grand. Beauty is still in the eye of the beholder and in the wallet of the beheld. God Bless. Vince

Grand? Don't you mean blind? LOL Love the humor in this one and the easy rhyme scheme that just carried the read along. Excellent! Michael
