a limerick for j

in lieu of jewelry chooseday i want to share with you a poem i wrote for my husband. from october to april the year is rife with holidays and special dates - halloween, my birthday, christmas, valentines, our first date,  his proposal, his birthday, and finally, our wedding anniversary. we felt that may to september needed a special day somewhere in there so we anointed july seventeenth as "je t'aime day." line number four is kinda naughty so cover your eyes for that one. 

to jonathan, on je t'aime day

my birthday is in november

as i'm sure you will remember

valentines is next

the day for lots of sex

oops, and christmas in december!

your birthday is in the spring

to which gifts and love i bring

not just cursory,

there's two anniversaries!

plus the day you gave me a ring

*switch it up, break it down, new rhyming steez abound*

there are dates in the spring time

gifts in winter and fall

but alas, dans la summer

there is nothing...nothing at all

and so to avoid this sadness

we'll create a day of amour

je t'aime my dear sweet husband!

we won't be sad anymore.
