A love in verse

A Happy Chap

There is a happy chap called Pete

Whom Allie married, she’s so sweet – 

She understands each quirk (and worse!)

In both his life and in his verse

She’ll say “Look, where this line enjambs

Has got cocked up with your iambs”.

He says to her “My darling sweet,

Concern you give my metric feet

Makes me wish them (how it rankles!)

Fair as those beneath your ankles”

But, oh, their love is so complete

It makes one think ‘that’s quite a feat’.

Allie and Pete

The light is dying out of the sky

Sun said goodnight an hour ago

The garden’s in shadow, one lone bird goes by...

I Must Rally, Allie

Years

We had the happiness of which one hears

Months...
