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!”

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 before.
I had a cup of coffee first
And then went to the kitchen door.

Thunder, lightning and rain met me.
My fishing plans were now quite dead,
So I quietly got undressed
And joined my sleeping wife in bed.

I whispered that “It’s raining hard.”
She answered as she squeezed my arm,
“Can you believe that my dumb husband
Is out there fishing in this storm?”

Nagged him daily as a rule.
She thought her husband lazy
And she hated his old mule.

May Bell took him lunch one day
And walked up beside the plow,
A bit closer to the mule,
Than good prudence would allow.

The sheriff said that the mule
Fatally kicked her in the head.
(Just in case you didn’t know,
“Fatally” means she was dead!)

At the wake the women told
How much they would miss May Bell.
While the men asked the farmer
If his mule would be for sale.

“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?

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
One cool guy,
Pajamas are
The gift to buy!

But to express
My love is hard,
Since I forgot
To buy a card!

So just believe
Me when I say,
This really is
Your special day.

Cause I believe
You know it’s true,
That my old heart
Belongs to you.
