Who's Counting by Tom Horonzy


I am not sure how you manage
to continually micromanage
the biggest hazard in your life
and still, smile as my wife.
Could it be my personality?
Given thought ... not likely.
Maybe it's my drop-dead looks?
What once was nice is overcooked.
A cultured pearl perfectly round?
No. Your oyster got ill and drowned.
Gracious when giving compliments?
You jest. There you're infallibly incompetent.
Meticulous? You must admit I'm neat.
Have you seen your shirts after you eat?
So what is it that you like about me?
So, why is it that you've kept me?
I took my marriage vows seriously.
For better or worse in sickness or health,
be we poor or abundant in wealth.
Finally, in short, you've grown on me.
Then, that being said ...
 
Happy Anniversary!
 
 

Author Notes
Snapshot is mine.
June 2nd is our anniversary.
Sadl, I had to be reminded which spurred this composition.
Yes, I would do it again.
