That's My Darling Bride
by
Robert Cameron Hazelton
She’s wacky and zany, a real handful
My feelings for her I could never hide,
But sometimes it’s the little things she does
That makes me say - That’s My Darling Bride!
A dirty knife sliced through warm water
Is put in the rack and considered clean,
I’m right behind her shaking my head
Rewashing that filthy, disgusting thing.
In the morn when I go to brush my teeth
The cap is nowhere near the crumpled tube,
Hardened paste must be ejected each day
Is it really so hard to turn the top a few screws.
I could go on with my unflattering list and
I’m sure she could list a few items about me,
The record of reasons I love her is much longer
Destiny intervened - our love was meant to be.
Sometimes I wonder though why I love her but
Without a doubt I most certainly do,
If she were to somehow suddenly change
I don’t think the love would be quite as true.
