Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

Early Days of Wedded Bliss

Gold ring procured from Navy exchange

     Merry-go-round petals etched in black

Two lives in rearrange

     Gifted a wedding plaque

                     ~

I was expecting; he had tonsillitis 

     I carried child; he had an ‘ectomy

A throaty bangup to wedded bliss
     
     Eureka earthquake; baby makes three.

                       ~

Life was swell; ding-dong dandy pell-mell

     Engaging in everyday realities

Smile-burps, cow-eyes, infantile dinner bell

     Bottomless dirty diapers, scrubbing onesies

                         ~

Who would stay awake and watch the kid?

     I did it everytime…. “tag you’re it!”

No one can count sheep like a squid

     Apparently, I’m in charge of this outfit

Mike Bayles October 10, 2021 at 7:47 PM Kim, I like the playfulness of the poem, but I still see it as a good depiction of early marriage. Kim Rodrigues October 11, 2021 at 9:41 AM Thank you :)

Caren Krutsinger October 7, 2021 at 11:17 AM Those were the olden days before Daddies got up and shared the all night duties! Thank you for the memories! Kim Rodrigues October 7, 2021 at 12:11 PM For sure!

Gershon Wolf October 5, 2021 at 12:25 PM Love your musings on the early days of marriage... They seem like a fairy tale out of a dream-book now, don't they? (Mine do, anyway). Kudos, Gershon Kim Rodrigues October 5, 2021 at 1:47 PM Memories! :)

Evelyn Judy Buehler October 4, 2021 at 7:33 PM The early days make great memories. Such happy frenzy. :D Kim Rodrigues October 5, 2021 at 4:31 AM We are broke in as we marry, have kids, or have alternate routes in life. Memories shared with family are priceless. God bless!

Victor Buhagiar October 4, 2021 at 11:58 AM Quite a lot of action in your early wedding days. Semper fie :) Kim Rodrigues October 4, 2021 at 12:19 PM LOL! For sure. Mom was on the East Coast. I was on the West and a new mom.
