Anniversary Poem

I caught his eye and he caught mine (Though after years did pass, He told me what attracted him Was not my eye, but ass!). Exchanging names, we made a plan To meet at evening's end (For this was way before a text Or email we could send). We both showed up, hit Chinatown; With chopsticks we did eat. (He taught me how; I've used them since. They make the meal complete.) Today's the date we celebrate That night so long ago. We've stuck together through the highs And every single low. We'll dine tonight with chopsticks (Though the food we'll eat is Thai) And wonder how so many years Have seemed to slip on by.

Haha! Your honesty has me blushing! Having read much of your work, I think you're exactly as you write about yourself and life. And that's a plus in my book, Ilene. And still married all these years to the same guy. Wow, to some "christians" that almost sainthood! Thanks for the stop by. / M
