ANNIVERSARY SEASON!
(Tune–see below)*
In nineteen hundred eighty-eight
During a telephone call,
My love said YES!
To my question did bless…
So our marriage would befall
(Brave souls)
Our marriage would befall!
–
She said…would I see fit to write
It out for her once again…
I did via mail
And she did not fail,
To answer as my friend
(Brave souls)
To answer as my friend!
–
And the final touch, for us…
Was to travel to my laird,
My laird and his lady gave their assent
And the tiger-eye was bared
(Brave souls)
The tiger-eye was bared!
–
‘Twas twenty six years on May third
Engaged we to wed…
A year and a month
To the day, we would come
To set our course as one,
(Brave souls)
To set our course as one!
