Well more or less
we’re both alright.
I could say more,
but then why spite
the other half
of this great fraction,
when 50/50
the main attraction.
I love this man
so much it hurts,
although I hate
ironing his shirts.
Not something that
the young ones do
for their dear men,
who love them true.
But for us, tradition
carried on.
Old habits formed
are never gone.
When ‘Come for Tea’
meant ‘Silver Service’,
And Blue Peter starred
dear Peter Purves.
And slow to change;
our ways that work.
A small price to pay –
ironing that shirt!
And heaven forbid the day
that’s superseded,
when the shirt I’ve ironed
no longer needed!
