She dances to music constantly
Although she is blind and cannot see
Dancing is something she does adore
And pledges to dance for evermore.
She sees herself inside her minds eye
In dancing gear that would make one sigh
And sequinned shoes that sparkle in time
To every twist and turn, rhythm and rhyme.
To her blindness is not a hazard
In her heart dancing truly matters
Keeps her positive, energised, fit
Because of course she loves the music.
Upon the dance floor she found romance
A man who fell for her at first glance
He became her sight, her guiding light
Dancing together both day and night.
They wed, she glowed in her bridal dress
Though blind she saw it all in her head.
Me in three was a dream,
when I started out young and free.
He went down on one knee,
a box with a ring oh no with a key.
The key to his heart was his plea,
would I stay or flee?
We had some hot tea,
watching out over the blue sea.
We would wed under the pretty big pink tree,
now with baby we are three.
The summer heat was turned up to blasting with a huge yellow sun looking down. Our sweat had sweat. If only there was a breeze to pass over us. In the mouth of desire sits July. A young couple is about to be wed. The groom all decked out in his black suit. The bride in her long wedding dress and veil. Family and friends gather to watch this union take place. They hang on every word as the vows are being said. Then the happy couple are pronounced husband and wife. In the mouth of desire a big kiss gets planted. Pictures are take, then off to the dinner.
Now we are married
July Fourth celebration
Anniversary
Wedded Bliss
Helping me to always see
Hoping that we’ll always be
Linked by love forever
Myself to surrender
If we live for each other
Sometimes we will falter
May I always have foresight
To see one of us is always right!.
They were sweethearts from childhood
Someday wed was understood
Clashing goals drove them apart
Now, there’s no path to their hearts
Lovely in her wedding dress
At the altar, vows professed
Bound ever to another
What might have been was over
Halfway the path to a heart
Another must share that mark
Where true love’s most skillful art
Molds “Until death do us part”
At halfway mark two begin
Both lovingly bound by trust
Life’s reliable linchpin
Forever holds safely thus
The crispy crusty bread
Was as lonely as it gets
As handsome as he was
He had no bride to wed
The crispy crusty bread
He tries all that he can
But to woo a bride he can't
Except the rickety stickety jam
The crispy crusty bread
At last, at noon he said
By this time tomorrow
Bride or death, I'll have instead
The crispy crusty bread
At last,wooed a lass called butter
They had a wedding on the stars
And lived happily ever after
Spare me your excuses
I've heard them all before
There be your abuses
Still crying on the floor
Wearing bumps and bruises
Ever a battered wife
Swearing as he boozes
Ever a battered life
He blows his fortune on poker and rummy
She lives by the fridge where life is so yummy
With vows long ago said
They're now happily wed
He to his gambling and she to her tummy
Are this couple truly happily wed
Is the wife happy because she’s well fed
His poker and rummy
Is not at all funny
Something tells me that the romance is dead

days slowly dance into chill perfection
gift to my husband and i affection
as trees of winter leaves shed
on Christmas day we first wed
to love and trace each other's direction

NOT A FUNNY LIMERICK JUST USED THE FORM
Sixty Years Wed
Sixty years since the magnificent day
In many precious moments along the way
Xanadu in impeccable joy
That no one in the world could ever cloy
You were joined in married bliss to enjoy.
You are together where you both belong
Every day it’s clear your love remains strong
And both hearts sing a song of faithfulness
Rendition of love’s soulmate tenderness
Sung softly all your lives in gentleness.
Wishing you peace, glee and love for all times
Extremely harmonious rhythm and rhymes
Dance forever together sweet Valentines.

All your future dreams were your destiny.”

With no noised date yet
On when they have to wed,
Anyone could safely bet
That it’s a right-bed
Welcoming wrongs of the lust-red.
A victorious head on her lap,
First, in a woolen cap,
The idea selling he could in same
Have a lingered nap
Plus things that feed shame
Between a loin and head, no gap!
So far as her trousers flap
Is actualizing An Inviting Map,
It’s a right bed in the wrong,
Advisedly not left too long
Save their wish a future divorce
By fire by force.
Wed With No Bed
A young couple decided to get wed
But could only afford a garden shed
It would not be homely
With standing space only
As the love nest had no room for a bed.
They did not mind that the shed had no bed
Thinking they would sleep on the floor instead
The nights would be cosy
The days nice and rosy
Sharing sublime luxury of their shed.
They were both sadly too tall for the floor
Couldn't stretch their legs and it made their heads sore
Beneath silvery moon
The happy bride and groom
Sealed their love outdoors with the night in awe.

Was she gray or pink? The toms could not really say.
But they watched her swish, and fully sashay.
She had an attitude that said I’m a fine cat.
They fought over her attention at her welcome mat.
The toms were totally gaga and utterly smitten
With Miss Priss, a dainty, sweet, adorable kitten.
She knew her power and put it on strong.
She led all the toms to glory, which was wrong.
Her mother told her she was playing with fire.
She said the consequences could be rather dire.
Miss Priss ended up an old maid, without a man.
When toms went on to find their wives, they actually ran.
The photographer did not have to tell this bride and groom to not smile.
He had not photographed such a dour newlywed couple ever in his life.
The man looked totally miserable, as did his unhappy looking wife.
They both looked angry, upset, and totally uptight.
The photographer thought this might be a dismal wedding night.
With my hand on my heart
And my head towards the sky
Pledge to you my sweetheart
For you I will live I will die
I court the with word and song
Caramel kisses warm and strong
Sweet reminisces all right none wrong
Hand on heart you will never be alone
With my hand on my heart
And my heart open to you
We shall never part
Unless you wish us to
And then my love shall still wait
Like white dove trained to pray
I shall not pretend with you
Through thick and thin always true
From beginning to end your biggest fan
Wishing you victory holding your hand
With my hand on my heart
I find your love saves
Me from the dark
And brightens my way
This journey we share with God as head
With my hand on my heart we shall be wed.
