Love is...

setting the alarm for 3.15 am

to go down the steep, steep stairs 

in your hastily pulled on knicks

to let Lettice out for a wee.

I've often said wake me up when the alarm goes

and I'll do it!

Breaking in a girl's lady shave,

in order not to cause her to chainsaw massacre

her pins in the shower.

Not being able to go anywhere, but instead 
spending all your holiday money on 

Miss Tena pads for Lettice.

taken this morning

Not showing concern when wife comes

in with yet more clothes,

when your yearly spend is under fifty quid.

Saying ever-so gently, do you think 

you should have taken a diplomacy tablet

before passing comment Lin?

Sub-editing letters of complaint before

fired off by her indoors.

When your wife is out on Friday afternoon, 

not having your customary 5pm Scotch until she's safely home.

Loving your missus even though her chin is pricklier

than yours.

Listening when she's in talk mode.

Watching her arts programmes, when you

much prefer James Bond films.

Trogging along to a Helen Shapiro concert...

don't ask...

Well since you have, she booked it because

in an unguarded moment he said

Helen now sings Jazz.

What wife didn't know was, the Jewish girl

had found Jesus and sang hymns for 

most of the concert.

On occasions sitting wife on lap, with hand up her back,

in the style of Peter Brough and Archie Andrews.

The message from her lips then, gets across, without blood on the carpet.

Wearing striped socks on your
wedding day to please your future bride.
They have never graced his feet since!

Giving me a lovely WSD
(Wicked Stepdaughter)

Having a name... Edward... the peacemaker
(and being one, and how!)
And a surname that means full of love.

All love,

Belinda, Aaron, Claire, Charlie and Hope

Happy Fathers Day Ted.

 I know I'm getting ahead of the game, but I'm doing it
 while he's out of the way.
Alright, he is all these things however, 
he'll kill me when he reads this...
so
I'm not going to tell him!
