THE ENGAGEMENT ( OLD AND IN THE WAY )

         THE ENGAGEMENT  ( OLD AND IN THE WAY )         TIM WILLIAMS       APRIL 2015

SO WE PUT IT UP ON FACEBOOK
THAT YOUR ENGAGED TO ME
A LOVELY PHOTO OF THE RING
FOR ALL OUR FRIENDS TO SEE
MANY OF THEM " LIKED " IT
OTHERS COMMENTED CONGRATULEE
ONE SAID " REMEMBER DO A PRE-NUP CAROLE
COZ POETS NEVER GET THEIR FEE........LOL

SO WE MADE IT ALL OFFICIAL
ON MY BIRTHDAY, WENT ON BENDED KNEE
IT WAS SOMETHING I'LL REGRET A WHILE
COULD'NT GET BACK UP YOU SEE
WELL I TOLD HER THAT I LOVED HER
ASKED WOULD SHE MARRY ME
SHE SAID " OH AYE GO ON THEN,
I'VE GOT NOTHING ON TILL 3 "

I EXPLAINED THAT THE WEDDING
WOULD BE AT LEAST A YEAR AWAY
SHE SAID THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD HURRY
" YOUR ALREADY BALD AND GREY "
I CHIRPED UP WITH " DONT YOU WORRY LOVE,
IT'S TO THE LORD I'LL PREY "
" THAT WE WILL LIVE A LONG OLD LIFE,
TOGETHER OLD AND IN THE WAY "

" THAT WE WILL HAVE A HAPPY LIFE TOGETHER
BECOME OLD AND IN THE WAY "

" THE ENGAGEMENT " WAS WRITTEN AS A BIT OF FUN TO MY FIANC'E CAROLE ON THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF OUR ENGAGEMENT, THANKS FOR SAYING YES BABE, I LOVE YOU XXXX.
