Now I am Ninety-one

For over half of my life

i was living with my wife.

The years were just fifty-four

and i wanted a lot more.

I was never very tall

but Louise was cute and small.

The math seems to indicate

I’ll reach one hundred eight

She was just seventy-eight

in years and also in weight.

She had to reach up to kiss

but she was glad to do this.

Do i miss her? Certainly.

I expect she misses me.
