Pookie and Me


BY: Cassy's Husband

The poet laurette of Florida is at it again. Here's Cassy's anniversay present.

She likes romantic vampire novels
I like Stephen King
She likes wearing jewelry
I refuse to wear a ring
We both like watching movies
We both love Chinese food
We manage to keep laughing
When times are bad or good
She's a very talented artist
I write songs and poetry
She's beautiful, smart and funny
God, what does she see in me?
She hates to make me worry
I hate to see her cry
We've both hurt each other
We've both apologized
We've been through a lot together
We've had our share of pain
Happiness does not an island make
Remember dancing in the rain?
We've never had a lot of money
We've never really gone without
Did I mention rolling pennies?
We know what THAT'S about
She wishes I'd quit smoking
To be honest, so do I
She tolerates my drinking
Though I can't imagine why
She does things that drive me crazy
And too often I get mad
All I want is to see her happy
I can't stand it when she's sad
She hates that I'm in prison
I hate that she's alone
It hurts me that the five years we've lost
Will be forever gone
We're both a little heavy
And yes, I'm losing hair
Despite our imperfections
We make a perfect pair
We're both a bit demented
She's crazy, I'm insane
She wishes vampires really existed
I've got mooses in my brain
We're both like kids at Christmas
We both love Halloween
I'm a freak for chocolate
She loves jelly beans
She knows that I love her
And I know that she loves me
We celebrate each October fifth
Our anniversary
She's sweet and kind and gentle
I'm a selfish brat
We both love attention
We've both belonged to cats
I wish that I could tell her
Just what she means to me
I wish I could paint a picture
Then maybe she would see
That I love her with my whole heart
And I will forever more
As long as stars are in the heavens
As long as the oceans meet the shore
We're both a little childish
But that makes living fun
We've learned to deal with humans
With our phasers set on stun
We like Star Wars we love Disney
And Indiana Jones
If ever we find Middle Earth
We'd feel right at home
She really likes my cooking
I love her cinnamon rolls
She's confronted me with dragons
I've surrounded her with trolls
I'm not good on saving money
Before it's earned it's always spent
She once sacrificed her china
Just so we could pay the rent
She says that I don't owe her
But I'm afraid I do
I can't pay this debt with money
Only with a love that's true
I'm not a perfect husband
All I can do is try
I hope that she'll forgive me
When I bite Kimmy on the thigh
She loves my sense of humor
I love her singing voice
We both love baking cookies
Chocolate chip would be my choice
She earned a degree in college
I dropped out of school
And once I swear
We both got crazy
In the swimming pool
I've cost her a typewriter
Her car, a ring, a sword
And if you ask her parents
I've kept her from the Lord
She's never been a weakling
I've never been that strong
And I'm sure
There's those that thought
We wouldn't last this long
I know the day is coming
When we'll look back through the years
We'll recall the memories
The pain, the joy, the tears
We won't remember everything
That's impossible to do
But there's one thing I'll remember
If I live to see 102
I'm not sure what month it was
I can't recall the day
But I stopped at a certain convenience store
In Sanford, F-L-A
I needed beer and cigarettes
I was going to grab the stuff and go
And I met the woman who changed my life
It started with a "No!"
And there you have it
Friends and foes
To quote Billy Joel
"And so it goes"
I hope you've enjoyed
The company
Of Tammy and Derik
Pookie and me.
