How We Met (Thank You IKEA!)
by By Mary Lansdown
(Southampton, England)
This poem tells the story of how my twin sister and I travelled over 70 miles to Bristol to visit their IKEA store, as we did not have one in Southampton at that time. I didn't end up going to IKEA however as I met my future husband, and we spent the weekend getting to know each other instead.....
I dragged myself round local shops to find a coffee table but seeing something that I liked I really wasn't able
So I phoned my sister Angie said I'd had a great idea we should travel up to Bristol and buy one from IKEA
We booked for the whole weekend so our first stop was the pub then we checked into our hotel and headed to a club!
And dancing there all by himself (that much I do recall) was a comely pert West Country lad who said his name was Paul
Now ever since that fateful night you've never left my side and when we gave each other rings I became your loving bride
But even though we're happily married something's missing still I fear for there's still no coffee table Baby, take me to IKEA!
Hi, I'm Jon Bratton and this website is my retirement income provider, thankfully. I've always been a rhymester and have, over the years, written many farewell to coworker ditties, love poems for valentines, roastings for milestone birthdays and so on. This interwebsite was originally created for card makers, stampers and scrapbookers to provide verses, quotes, one-liners etc for their papercraft creations. You'll find me, on a personal basis on
Facebook
There are over 400 pages of material and I've done my very best to provide good internal navigation to help you find the perfect verse or quote for you. Not everything on here was written by me. I've included the work of Author Unknown who is very good, I find and I have also included
contributions from you guys
Thanks, and please keep 'em coming. Now for details of the Verses4Cards page on Facebook and if you like what you find on my interweb site I'd really like you to click the Like button, coming next. Chow!
