When you're married this long it deserves a poem.


Poem Artwork

 

Has it been that long since you and I
in Beetle crammed with camping gear
forsook our friends without goodbye
and eloped to Reno's atmosphere
of jangling slots in smoke-filled rooms
and in a chapel small and white
where countless other brides and grooms
had said the words that will unite
two hearts as one we did the same
with rented wedding party and
a rented minister for aim
of Cupid's arrows had been grand?
