Manly Love

Manly Love

 

 

Oh come on, I said.

I do love you, I pled.

 

Remember the year ‘75?

A great time to be alive.

 

A MODEM for Mothers Day

And a printer for your birthday?

 

 

What more could you ask?

To what other task

Could I have committed

To win your love un-remitted?

 

Even the ribbing I took at work

Did not make me from my course shirk.

 

 

In ‘01 you’ve got to admit

The Embroidery Machine did indeed fit.

Over a diamond (well, moissanite) ring,

You did choose that sewing thing.

And through the years, my love still abounding,

In ‘08 you got the HDTV astounding.

 

 

Oh, my dear, she said,

I’m still glad I thee wed.

 

The MODEM did help me through school,

In my profession it was a great tool.

The Printer made my papers less a chore.

Before that I did them abhor!

The HDTV I adore,

Watching O’Reilly thrills me to the core.

 

 

So, all in all, I do agree

It’s possible you do love me …

 

 

BUT, flowers would have really been nice!
