Love Grows Up

My smiling Cedric sings to me.
He's loud and often gets off key.
I just don't care cuz he's so fine!
We can't date yet. We're only nine.
*******************
We’re nineteen. Cedric’s still the one.
Our wedding plans, we have begun.
Although he sings to me sometime,
I know our life will be sublime!
*******************
My Cedric often sings to me
and--Bless him!—still can’t find the key.
No other man could be so fine.
Our years of marriage? Twenty-nine.
