Louise

L et me introduce you
  to someone I'm pleased to know
  she came into my life
  several years ago.

O ur family gained an asset
  when she was married to my son
  and it didn't take her very long
  till she was loved by everyone.

U tah's where their home is
  for 18 years or so
  I always visit every year
  September's when I go.

I love to be around her
  I feel just like her Dad
  she always makes me feel at home
  for which I'm very glad.

S he has the Patience of a Saint
  of this I can attest
  she taught me to solve Sudoku"s
  and didn't get depressed.

E ven though I'm kinda slow
  she treats me like a king
  she's always at my Beck and Call
  and I don't want for anything.

  If Daughters-in-Law were made to order
  I could turn them down with ease
  cause I already got the best there is
  her name - of course- LOUISE.
