TWENTY-TWO YEARS


TWENTY-TWO YEARS  

She was  sexy and pretty
Just turned 56
Nine and a half years my junior.
Was I too old for her?
Her mother thought so.

Had a boat in Marblehead Harbor
A house on Tidewinds Terrace
National salesman for Sundance
I was smitten!

For 22 years we’ve been together
She loves the country roads in Carlisle
Still has her Marblehead mooring
Plays tennis three time a week
Delivers meals to old folks
Enjoys Bolli and Book Club
Still  sexy and pretty at 78
And she takes care of me.

I have two questions.
Does she love me?
I hope so.
Do I love her?
After 22 years, I guess I do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Your loving fondler

Irwin

RESPONSIBILITY


AUNT CHARLOTTE’S 90TH  YEAR

 

RESPONSIBILITY!

Who’s responsible?
Aunt Charlotte is.

She should have known.
She should have warned.
Why didn’t she tell?
She should have told
It’s too late now.
Twenty-two years ate
Who’s responsible?
Aunt Charlotte is.

I gave her clues
When we spoke on the phone
Twenty-two years ago
But she gave me her number anyhow.
Now twenty-two years too late.
Who’s responsible for those twenty-two years?
 Twenty-two years of happiness
Twenty-years togetherness
Twenty-two years unwedded bliss.
Aunt Charlotte is.

 Leona and Irwin thank Aunt Charlotte
For those wonderful twenty-two years
We know who’s responsible
Aunt Charlotte is.

Who’s celebrating her 90th birthday?
Aunt Charlotte is.
Happy 90th birthday wishes
With all our love

Leona and Irwin.
