CELIA'S POEMS

No 380          March 29

When Geoff and I got married,

We were not in our prime,

Geoff had been a bachelor,

And it was my second time.

We had a lovely wedding,

Our honeymoon was stupendous,

We went on a bowling holiday,

80 people went with us.

Hardly the usual honeymoon,

A romantic getaway,

It was a tour of America,

And our friends all made the day.

When we were on the initial flight,

The captain knew we’d just got married,

The hostess came up to our seat,

Champagne is what she carried.

Our tour was very eventful,

This I’ve got to say,

I’ll tell you all about it,

That will be another day.

We ended up in Las Vegas,

Geoff said “We’ll have the champagne I think”,

As he pulled the cork, the bottle slipped,

It flew under the bed and emptied, we never got a drink.

This year we will celebrate 29 years,

Thank you Geoff, you’ve been a treasure,

I got myself a “toy boy”,

Every day has been a pleasure.
