Wow. I feel like my brain is turning on again.....


A COFFEE CONFESSIONAL


I DILUTE MY SPOUSE'S HALF AND HALF

WITH THE COW'S MILK THAT'S WHOLE

WHEN THE PRE-DILUTED CREAMER

REACHES HALFWAY LOW

DOING SOME OF THE CALORIC MATH

I COULD SEE THAT HE WAS GETTING FAT-

INTO SOME CHANGLING

I DIDN'T KNOW

I PUT MY FOOT DOWN

AND SAID N. O.

STILL, HE LOVES

HIS COFFEE WITH CREAM

NOT KNOWING HE'S SLIMMING

'CAUSE HIS SNEAKY WIFE'S MEAN

DEPRIVING HIS JOY

OF COFFEE WITH THAT FATTY CREAM

A VERY SMALL PRICE TO PAY

TO INSURE OUR LOVE'S LONGEVITY

This is how my spouse looked when we first married. I am older than him- I married a younger man. They say women outlive men...maybe it will balance things a bit. I seem to have aged a bit better than him. Now he looks a little older than me. He looks completely different sporting an aged face with long hair and beard.
