TICKS AND RICE
I’ll tell you my story if you’ve got a minute or two.
It starts off just right, as most stories do,
I met my future bride as we waited on line.
We knew it was love when we drank the same wine.
We grew closer day by day, did almost everything as one.
She finished my sentences with a skill second to none.
We laughed and had fun each and every day,
So I thought to myself let’s get married in May.
After three years of heavenly bliss,
We made it official, sealed our bond with a kiss.
We said our “I dos” on the first day in May.
It was quite a show, all happy and gay.
We then bought our dream home at last.
We bought some new things, kept some things from the past.
We unpacked our belongings from morning to night\.
It was hard work but it was all right.
So at the end of our first day in our love shack,
My wife said, "Take a load off your feet, just go relax.
I’ve got your dinner and dessert covered with ease."
And she went to work with her apron put on
As I was left to do as I please.
After forty five minutes,
My lovely bride called out to me.
She said, "Close your eyes, just take my hand.
I’ve got a surprise for you that’s really grand."
So I licked my lips, and followed her lead,
My stomach growling waiting to be pleased,
My mouth salivating and ready to chew,
My nose trying to sniff for a clue.
So she finally took her hands away from my eyes,
And I have to say what I saw
Made my blood cold as ice.
‘Cause I was expecting a feast as a prize,
But instead what I got
Was a heaping, hot bowl filled with ticks and rice.
Nothing better than ticks and rice for dinner!!
