He Says / She Says
I ask them about
their wedding day.
He remembers asking
Harold to borrow
his Hudson Hornet
for something. She insists
they had her Daddy’s Jeep.
He asks how many
months they’ve been
married. She says,
Almost 63 years.
He responds, No, months.
I intervene with math:
(62 years x 12 months) +
December, January,
February, March, April,
and May, this time around
the sun gives you 749.
He says, That sounds about right.

Funny and clever–hard to be both I think, but you did it.
Jay the peacemaker and mathematician! I can put faces to this poem from your FB pictures. Well done!
Jay, ditto the comment from Sylvia and Bruce, and the last line is just right. Not “about right,” “just right!”
I loved this. Thanks for sharing.
Made me laugh, Jay. Made me laugh.
Perfect moment for “intervention”! You captured lots about this couple in a sweet brief poem!
