Partner
Just so you know,
This is about my wife.
As a fool is his own lawyer,
Only a dolt writes poetry about (not to) his wife!
She's asked for this, a test?
I'll do my best.
I hope to be adequate.
I protest, this isn't fair!
Where do I start?
We came from worlds apart.
Little we knew what was in store,
To share ideas, dreams and more.
We've been married a while.
Hasn't cramped our style.
Had an anniversary last week,
After 24, not bleak!
Friend, lover, and partner of no equal.
To this story there is no sequel.
I love you Diane!
