Most days he makes me laugh.
Sometimes he makes me sigh.
And during that hormonal time of month,
He can even make me cry.
His waist long hair is gone (shaved off),
That he grew from a young teen.
But even with a shiny scalp,
He’s the sexiest man I’ve seen.
The way he makes my children giggle,
The smiles brought to their eyes.
I know I chose the perfect man,
As he quiets their plaintive cries.
Sure, sometimes I want to strangle him,
Because of all the buttons he pushed.
But before I can plot his untimely death,
My murderous plans are shushed.
He gives me the look from long ago
And my insides start to swish.
I reread my engraved wedding band,
The words, “As you wish.”
Through thick and thin, the smooth and rough,
Or being “mostly dead”.
He’s my CG—The Computer God,
Husband. Fab Father. The End.
Happy 9th wedding anniversary, honey!











Love that your wedding band says “As you wish.”
I’d picked out my ring band, but what he chose to inscribe was a surprise–a perfect one.
Awww – happy anniversary! And what a wonderful inscription on the inside of your wedding band.
He really made me wish I’d had a cool quote to fit on his…
Which I totally would’ve had, if the wedding hadn’t fried my brain.
And yes, every time I read it, I think “perfect”.
That’s my very favorite movie…and there are no better three words to put on a ring.
Happy anniversary, sweet friend. Cheers to enduring love.
And to mawige. Which bwings us togever. Today.

Ah yes, The bwessed awangement…
I love you for quoting the bishop.
It was a wonderful evening.
Of course, 24 hours later I find myself shacking up with a woman in Dallas for a writer’s conference while leaving him with the kids.
Best. Present. Ever.
Happy Anniversary. Such a sweet poem.
Thank you!
love it and that wedding ring….oooooo love!!!!! great to stop by again from the linkup..i am at 3 and 5 this week xxxxx
Leave it to him to pick the perfect inscription.
Thanks for stopping by! I’ll be sure to hit your blog soon.
Beautiful tribute to your guy and I love, love, love the inscription on your wedding band!
Wesley did have a way with words. It helps that is one of our favorite movies too.
Happy anniversary. The shiny-scalped ones are the best, I think. And I absolutely love your wedding ring (as would my own shiny-scaled guy).
I dig the shiny-scalped guys too. I just did a double take for the first two months, because I’d seen long hair instead for the first ten years I’d known him.
Good taste in movies.
Thank you for stopping by.
Perfect. What a beautiful tribute. (-:
Poetry is not my strong suit, but I find humor makes it more palatable.
Thank you for reading!
Love this so much. And um yeah. Your dude’s a hottie. He rocks the bald head. Happy anniversary, Kelly! Here’s to 90 more years of joy.
He totally rocks the bald head.
And he knows his movies.
GREAT poem!!! Congrats.
“As you wish” is from one of my all time favorite movies…The Princess Bride. Love it.
The Princess Bride is one of our all-time favorite movies–it’s where he got the quote from.
From appropriate.
Though I can live without the Fire Swamp.
