For Casey and Luis

Old Sturbridge Village

Going to another wedding - this one's for my niece.

Now I have to find a gown to wear that's made from fleece.

Wedding's at Old Sturbridge Village; part of it's outside.

There's a horse drawn wagon for the guests who need a ride.

All the rest of us will walk down quaint - but muddy - streets;

Forecast says it's gonna rain (unless, of course, it sleets)

And we'll miss a play-off game; the Pats play Tennessee.

I suggested they postpone... The bride did not agree.

I pray that the happy couple has a happy life.

Hoping that this journey they begin as man and wife

Leads to years of joy and love together for these two...

(If I have to freeze than it's the least that they can do.)

Renovations

 

I just got a dye-job on my hair - erasing years.

Hadn't realized how ancient graying hair appears.

Problem is that, once you start, it's kinda tough to quit...

When gray roots start growing back, it's gonna look like shit.

I don't tend to bother with appearances that much;

Don't wear make-up, jewelry, accessories, and such...

But we're going to a wedding with a "hipper" crowd

For my sister's daughter... She said, "frumpy's not allowed."

So, I'm getting all dolled up...  I even did my toes.

Went out shopping with my Mom and bought some sexy clothes.

Don't think I can keep this up 'cause it's a lot of work.

Frumpy is much easier and I'm a lazy jerk.
