Thang

My Texas
Slang and
Her New
England
Twang we
Trade like
Kids with
Baseball
Cards for
Our smiles.
She is Irish
I am mostly
Scots-Jewish.
I love to do
That thang
She likes
Me to do to
See her smile
And radiate
An aura of
Contentment.
Our banter
Using snippets
Of songs drive
Others crazy,
We hold hands
In public like
Lovers do, too
Old to blush.
Kon’t and shon’t
Fall from our
Vocabulary,
Instead we
Laugh and
Sometimes
Just gaze
Into each
Other’s
Eyes.
She is
Also French
Canadian,
Mon petit
Chou-fleur.
