Happy Anniversary Poem - Ode to a husband

by Jaden whittall
(Wakefield)

Everyone jokes,
They laugh and they swear,
Saying 'I wonder what the old fool...
Will buy you next year'
They say my husband is so male
So predictable it's untrue
Coming up with the same lines,
So easy to see through,
My present is in the car,
Then I hear him drive away,
Or it was lost in the post,
Until he goes shopping next day.
But for my anniversary, I don't want flowers
Chocolates or a diamond ring,
All that silly nonsense
Just doesn't mean a thing.
All I want is my sweet husband,
Still by my side,
And that is a gift to cherish
To show off with pride.
It's cheap and it's not purchased
But more than enough for me,
To hear the words, I love you darling,
Happy anniversary
