Salt and Pepper Get Together

Salt Cellar by cellar on the cupboard shelf I fell for you and crave you for myself You look handsome in your sparkling glass pot I imagine you'd be tasty and hot. It'd be lovely to sprinkle together, There for each other through stormy weather I'm extremely salty, guess you'd agree That if we marry, companions we'd be. Pepper You're a fine looking lass, I love you lots Made for each other in matching glass pots So fine and lovely, in your gown of white, Would you marry me and become my wife. Seasoning forever, to have and hold, My darling will you wear my ring of gold We'll grow older together tenderly A match made in Eden are you and me. Salt and Pepper And so the wedding for them went ahead A glorious day it has to be said Pepper was proud of the bride at his side Salt wore a smile and a gleam in her eyes. Salt never stopped sneezing throughout their lives Yet never complained, she sensed it unwise Her salty kisses made Pepper’s lips sore He never confessed, just kissed evermore.

Belle, I found this tale absolutely adorable, with a pinch of real life sprinkled in at the end. Do you suppose they had Vivaldi's "The Four Seasonings" playing at their wedding? A fav for me, truly delightful. Hugs ~ John

John, I’m sorry I missed your reply, I must have had salt in my eye. I guess they would have had the first dance to “ The Four Seasonings” it would have been most apt… Thank you Belle
