The Forgotten Wedding Anniversary

The Forgotten Wedding Anniversary

By Elton Camp

Come on, wives, please get real
He forgot, so what’s the big deal

He’s still around, isn’t he?
He cares, you can easily see

With a young chick he didn’t run away
Rather, with the old hen, decided to stay

The anniversary date why didn’t you say
It’s ever so much easier on all that way

So his secretary a gift could arrange
Thus keep him out of the firing range

You knew what to expect when you wed
“Men are apes,” it’s correctly been said

Apes lie around and scratch all day
It’ll never become any other way

Dates to apes are a foreign concept
It’s their nature, they’re not inept

So why should you be upset at all
An anniversary he didn’t recall
