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 10/4/2021

Kim, I like the playfulness of the poem, but I still see it as a good depiction of early marriage.

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

We are broke in as we marry, have kids, or have alternate routes in life. Memories shared with family are priceless. God bless!
