Musings of An Old Man

by Brian K. Moore

ANNIVERSARY 50

Date: 50 Years Plus 4 Days

WHILE THOUGHTS OF THE PAST
AND OUR MEMORIES FILL US

I LOOK AT MY WIFE
AND I CALL OUTHEY PILLUS”

FOR THAT’S WHAT SHE’S CALLED
THOUGH NOT REALLY HER NAME

SHE IS, I MUST SAY
AN EXCEPTIONAL DAME

FOR THESE 50 YEARS
SHE’S BEEN MY DEAR WIFE

AND OF COURSE IT’S NO SECRET
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

THOUGH THIS 50TH GREETING
IS SOMEWHAT BELATED

I’LL TELL YOU FOR SURE
WE’RE SO GLAD THAT WE MADE IT

AND SO FOUR DAYS AGO
(I THINK IT’S JUST NIFTY)

WE STARTED RIGHT OUT
ON OUR SECOND FIFTY
