Waiting under the arcade       Sheltering from the rain.            Because there’s a storm brewing.   And I need to catch                              The downtown train

Would you like a Bacardi?

Can I get you a gin? 

A nice boutique variety,

Where shall we begin? 

I’ve got some Paul Masson brandy,

Some Vodka Citron,

Or, if you like Yankee,

I have some Bourbon!

My bar was set up

By my darling wife

You’ll have THE best martini,

You’ve had in your life!

I love a good old jelly tot,
I love a gummy bear,
I love an American hard gum,
And I’ve Licorice Allsorts to spare!
I only buy bags of nostalgia,
A box of traditional sweets,
I am big on the taste of the 70’s,
So all the above constitute treats!

I was 18 when I met you,
And you were 22,
I loved your sense of humour,
And those stunning eyes of blue.
We waited to get married,
Until I was 21,
But spent each day together,
Surprising everyone.
And now we celebrate our grandchild,
Whose wedding is today,
And we could make our vows again,
Because our feelings still hold sway.
I’m now an ancient 88,
And you are 92,
But I may as well be in my teens,
Because, darling, I love you.
