Poor Paddy's wife thinks he is cruel 
Because of his strict leap year rule
No leap year   - there’s no gift
It's caused many a rift
But Paddy says he is no fool!

His wife gets no gifts for three years
She’s fed up and bursts into tears
With a decree nisi
She could date a kind guy
But this request falls on deaf ears!

Their daughter says buy mum some lunch
Or flowers in a pretty bunch
Paddy thinks on his feet
And buys her a ‘treat'...
A packet of cheap monster munch!

Our Cheryls Decree Nisi

Arms out stretched I reach for the sky 
and spin like a childs spinning top
as the rain  drips into my eyes.
Im set  free , Im top of the world. 

14 seconds is all that  it  took .
She had'nt got my x factor, but she had the looks. 
To many photo's and paprazzi around.
And no double barrel surname for you to learn.

Ive already been replaced with the next young guy.
I wish him well and lots of luck. 
Keeping a princess happy really tough
And I wonder if I have, nicoles number in my little black book.
