Having entered my eighth decade And for many-a child’s welfare prayedI am happy yet to be wifedBy one who keeps at bay that strife.She is as fair as a lady could beAnd still has much to do with me(A woeful beast descended from AdamHardly worth of such a madam)!On we go living in the moment,Knowing […]
