Forty-One

What can I say of the sum: Forty-One?
How to describe it? Just what can be done?
That it follows Forty, well that is just true,
Though many things added together accrue,
You won’t find it contained in a times-table match,
Won’t cleanly divide, despite how hard you scratch.
So what can I say of that number? It’s fine?
It’s solid? It’s pretty? It’s stately? Divine?
Well, to Husby and me it’s the aforesaid,
‘Cause today, it’s the years that we two have been wed!

Happy Anniversary, my love!


It's poetry Monday!
Hop on over to Delores and Jenny and see how their day is going!
