Howdy Bookworms!
Today marks four years since I married Jim. Last year I wrote a series of Limericks to celebrate. This year I thought I’d try my hand at a song parody. I’m bad at being overtly affectionate, so I opt for the tongue-in-cheek. I got in touch with my inner Carly Simon, and it’s… ridiculous. The story of us, Weird Al style (to the tune of “You’re So Vain”):
You walked up to the soundboard, and I noticed that you were hot.
It was apparent you didn’t realize it, I fell for you right on the spot.
I made a mission for myself,Β to see you become mine.
I started to think about how I should stalk you,
How I should stalk you, man.
You’re so sane.
Compared to me you’re quite well adjusted.
You’re so sane.
Your oddities are merely eccentric-
You walk quick and nitpick…
I met you more than 10 years ago, when you were still quite naive.
Over the years I managed to wear you down,
And now you can never leave (muahahahaha)
You’re stuck with me till the end of time, which fills me up with glee.
I hope you don’t mind that I still suck at cooking,
Still suck at cooking, oh.
You’re so sane.
Actually, you’re probably crazy.
But I won’t complain,
Because you love me even when I am lazy.
Don’t you? Don’t you?!
When the nonsense tunes are sung in our house, it’s usually all your fault.
Now that I’ve given one a try, I warn you they may never halt.
With all our puns and cheesy jokes, it’s been a lot of fun.
There’s nobody else that I’d rather have married,
Rather have married, but-
We’re insane
We’re a charming pair of neurotics
It’s so plain-
Look at our surveillance home electronics.
And comic harmonics.Β
Thanks for putting up with that, Bookworms. Happy Anniversary, Jim! Thanks for putting up with me. XOXO.

We had a lovely dinner out- I enjoyed watching my picky eater husband tasting creme brulee for the first time! His verdict? “I liked the burned sugar. Can we get it without the pudding next time?”
