MARRY CARRY

by Charles E Minshall

When we were young
With knee bent plea,
I asked for your hand.
Please marry me?
Again I ask for your hand
With knee bent plea,
Damn arthritis got to me.

Got that right, Charlie. Bones, by nature become brittle, difficult to bend or straighten or both. All may break...but a pleadge of love is a great constant, its inherent fluidity is proof.. Well said, ChrMin. Thanks.

I have to ask for my man to open the pickle jar now. So far, my knees still work. I liked your poem - nice segue from then to now.

Yep! A look at life with that same touch of dry wit!
