The joys of Matrimony

In our first year of marriage my true love said to me,
that my bloods worth bottling – for I’m such a sweetie.
In our second year of marriage, she had threatened me the boot
and she reckons I’m as barmy as a bandicoot.

In our third year of marriage, she reckoned if I strayed
she’d be round like a rissole with a very sharp blade.
In our fourth year of marriage, I’ve gone deaf, so she said,
asks if my ears are painted on - or ignorant instead.

In our fifth year of Marriage, she’s as rude as can be,
and reckons that I’ve fallen out of an ugly tree.
In our last year of marriage, she could stand me no more,
warned me not to do a Melba - as she slammed the door.

Good one Terry! Happens to a few of us. Ha! Ha!

Thanks Ron & Dolly

This bit of nonsense comes from a bloke who's been happily married for 54 years.

Cheers

Terry

Works for me - excellent - you're a brave man but I have it on good authority that every word was written tongue in cheek.

well done Terry - you nailed it with that one

Thanks Maureen

The truth of the matter is that I'm a very spoilt and lucky bloke.

Terry

Excellent, Terry - you certainly had me smiling this morning! Really amusing - well done!

Thanks Catherine

Terry

Good on you Terry! When you've been happily married for 54 years, you are allowed to take the mickey, just a bit!

Thanks Shelley
