A bit of serendipity at work on this one! September 23rd marks my 45th wedding anniversary. Today's humble attempt at haiku/senyru is the result of a poetic collaboration with my soulmate and favorite pun-meister.
The marriage has been a lot like the poem. Equal parts corny jokes and miracles. It hasn't all been a walk in the park but we managed to hold on tight and make each other laugh ..... often.
Hope you get a chuckle too!

not swans but still
mated for life..... miracle
or just a pair o' ducks ?
