A SEPTEMBER AND MAY (Not autobiographical)

 
After the sudden death of my long married wife,
I could not have another woman share my life
Until came one younger, who got under my skin,
With whom I forgot my loss amidst ‘carnal sin’.
Friends saw how well we two were getting on,
One said ‘Make an honest woman of her, John.
She is clearly so good to you;
Why not make her wife number two?”
So at the next chance I popped The Question,
She said “Yes” – then announced a conception.
So with our first baby coming on the way
We had a friends-and-family wedding day.
Now ten years later we are still going strong,
Her youth and our children keep me feeling young!
