In a few days, I am throwing a small "50th Wedding Anniversary" party for my parents. What an achievement, to live and work together for fifty years and still be in love. :-) I wrote a silly poem to honor them. Here it is.
ODE TO DELMA & TOM
They met in a place that was sandy and hot,
the beautiful Arkansas hills it was not!
Florida couldn't compare to Nebraska's great plains,
but these two love birds, didn't notice the terrain!
Ya know, the way to a man's heart is straight through his tummy
When Delma made her potatoe salad, Tom's heart beat out "Yummy"!
Little did she know how many salads she would make
In the next 50 years...it would have made her head ache!
So the tow-haired young man with the very brown tan
Married the dark-haired beauty, who was his greatest fan!
They traveled to Texas to stake out their claim
They added a young 'un..Susan Marie was her name!
Before you could blink, Donetta May joined the crew
Delma kept real busy taking care of those two!
Meanwhile "Tom Cat" stayed busy at DOW, U.S.A.
Working hard through the night and sleeping all day!
Fifty years have gone by, filled with work and with play
There's been lots of fun times--enjoyed the old-fashioned way!
From cook outs to camp outs to traveling the land
Delma and Tom...a match made in Heaven...let's give them a hand!
*** HAPPY 50th ANNIVERSARY!! ***
