A Snoring Partner Problem and Solution Limerick
There’s lots of ways to solve the problem. This one was very effective on me.
Your partner’s snoring has you seething.
To stop it, just do this key thing –
First, you shake them
And after you wake them….
Punch them and tell them STOP BREATHING

Forty-three years ago nineteen seventy-nine two soulmates in love their lives they combined and we've never looked back from that lovely day as our love has grown deeper it's quite true to say Two kindred spirits we soulmates as one raise a glass here today for more years of fun
An Avoiding Marital Tension Limerick 1.1
Married on a birthday

Went to a birthday party in Surrey, Saturday night took us a while to get there but that was quite alright Loud cheers when we got there the celebrations had begun so we hurried there to join them so we'd not miss out the fun And we found the cheers had purpose for the birthday and for now as my brother had got married on his birthday with a vow

Things have changed a little here in Worthing over time as there was no big wheel here back in nineteen seventy-nine Forty-two years passed since then yet we two still are here soulmates then and soulmates now in our forty-second year
A Marriage Rules Limerick
But we’re all human and there will always be differences of opinion…which led to this…
Though he may be a shining white knight,
There will be the occasional fight.
And when a wife is irate
She’s always gonna hate….
Those rare times when her husband is right!

I AM BLESSED
By Charles Robert Lindholm
Every night I count my blessings
and I‘m thankful for each one
’cause I know I‘ve not been promised
I‘ll see the rising sun
Every moment is so precious
every day is special too
but the memories that I treasure most
have all been made with you
You are the love I‘ve longed for
You are my dream come true
and I know each day
that I am Blessed
when I wake up next to you

There is nothing quite so wonderful as waking up with your BELOVED!!!

A Wrong Question At The Wrong Time Limerick
41
The suit I’d purchased for twenty-five quid
all I could afford at the time
just after my twentieth birthday
my life waiting there on the line
The tie was one of my fathers’
as were the shoes on my feet
His passing was five years too early
to see his son’s wedding complete
Now forty-one years have surrendered
themselves to the life we have led
since that day way back in seventy-nine
when Sally and Jeremy wed

USED TO BE
The Cosmos
When I was born, the Cosmos was young.
It’s exponential growth had scarcely begun.
As an infant, I learned to always ask, “Why?”
And the universe expanded with each reply.
Across the island of knowledge I began to crawl
And found not an edge or end, but endless sprawl.
Until, I heard something I knew was absurd.
Even though people called scientists avidly concurred
That the Cosmos was finite and several billion years old,
Who were they to limit what my universe could hold?
When, contrary to the revered “intellectuals’” thinking,
Visceral evidence told me, the Cosmos was shrinking.
