Yes, I'll Marry You

by Pam Ayres

                                                                                 

Yes, I'll marry you, my dear,
And here's the reason why;
So I can push you out of bed
When the baby starts to cry,
And if we hear a knocking
And it's creepy and it's late,
I hand you the torch you see,
And you investigate.

Yes, I'll marry you, my dear,
You may not apprehend it,
But when the tumble-drier goes
It's you that has to mend it,
You have to face the neighbour
Should our labrador attack him,
And if a drunkard fondles me
It's you that has to whack him.

Yes, I'll marry you,
You're virile and you're lean,
My house is like a pigsty
You can help to keep it clean.
That sexy little dinner
Which you served by candlelight,
As I do chipolatas,
You can cook it every night!

It's you who has to work the drill
and put up curtain track,
And when I've got PMT it's you who gets the flak,
I do see great advantages,
But none of them for you,
And so before you see the light,
I do, I do, I do!

Adorable poem--and I do love that blue/pink 70s print apron!

Great poem and scrumptious aprons as usual. These are just so lovely and I really like the way you always shoot your work in a natural setting. Always a pleasure to pop in and browse and feel inspired.

Enjoy your week!

I just LOVE this...may I copy just the poem to my facebook for my family? I'm more than willing to post a link to your blog as well...however you'd be more comfortable.

Thanks for visiting my blog...I did use it in an anniversary post and my family loved it. I haven't looked Pam Ayers up yet...but I'm going to...I just found a really old book of marriage poems by Ogden Nash that has several really funny ones too.

I really love the look of your blog...well done.
