MAN AND WIFE

MAN AND WIFE

Do we sense a discord sounding,

In the Autumn air a chill?

For to "Honor and Obey" him -

Didn't hear her say "I Will".

Could it be in a modern marriage

There is little cause for doubt;

Slip the person something extra,

He agrees to leave that out.

Best regards to "Les & Shirley",

Maybe wrong, I must confess;

Should I just say "Les & Shirley"

Or perhaps "Shirley & Les"?

First came man, 'cording to scripture,

"Op'ration Rib" sure made him wince:

And if true the things I'm hearing,

She's been ribbin' him ever since.

Life is yours, to make or mar it;

Loyal be unto the end.

May your future ever glorious

Constitute the perfect blend

Of a lifetime filled with service,

Happiness, serenity;

May God's blessings e'er be with you

Now and through eternity.
