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
