They were having a graveside service
For his wife who’d passed away.
He felt sorry for the preacher,
Hunting for nice things to say.
When the sky abruptly darkened,
Thunder and lightning filled the air.
He said as they ran for shelter,
“Well, at least we know she got there!”

She Got There!

Fishing Trip
July 1st, 2009 — Married Life, Poems for Grownups
A wife should let her husband have
At least one fishing trip a year.
She’d really been quick to approve;
My wife is such a thoughtful dear.
The next Sunday morning early,
I got quietly out of bed
And placed a tender loving kiss
On top my dear wife’s sleeping head.
I grabbed my trusty fishing gear,
That I had packed the night [...]

The sheriff said that the mule
Fatally kicked her in the head.
(Just in case you didn’t know,
“Fatally” [...]

All I said,
“It would be neat
If you’d make less noise
When you eat.”
How was I
Supposed to think,
That she was plunging
Out the sink?
Valentine Gift – For Ruth
February 14th, 2009 — Married Life
It’s said that if
I really care,
I’d have you sent
A Teddy bear.
Or that the thing
That I should do,
Is have a star
Named after you.
Or if I’m really
