My Kangaroo

My joy is full in you, my bride
Without your love, I might have died
I might have died to be alone
Or languish by the telephone

A dipsy doodle, ding-dong dunce
Describes the man who loved you once
The man who made you shrug on sight
Is now the one you hug at night

I married you, and by the way
I carried you, and your bouquet
Across the threshold of our door
To be my wife forevermore

How grateful can a person be
To know your love belongs to me
Belongs to me and me for you
My pretty little kangaroo.

Thank you, Andrea. You can steal this poem if you like, but I doubt you carried Joey across the threshold. Ha Ha--thanks for commenting, my friend. Luv, Bryan
