HOW I MET MY WIFE LABOR DAY WEEKEND

As an 18 year old lifeguard 
On top of the world,

I sat alone waiting to save others,

But she shyly approached, smiled

And saved me.  It was 1988.

Her smooth, tanned skin

Played hide-and-seek

With her pale bikini.

From my perch I stared far too long at her.

She asked me if I like the Beatles.

Trying to be cool I asked her why.

She replied, “I could never marry anyone

Who didn’t like the Beatles.”

I jumped off my lifeguard’s chair,

Looked into her innocent eyes and

Told her, “Ringo’s my favorite.”
