Chance Meeting (Wedding Anniversary Limerick)

My wonderful husband Mark and I are celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary today.  Happy anniversary Mark!  This limerick is my gift to you.  (How’s that for getting off cheap?)

Chance Meeting (Wedding Anniversary Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Our encounter took place on a train—
A chance meeting, though far from mundane:
A lucky converging,
With love soon emerging—
Once strangers, now wedded-bliss twain.

    Thanks! Actually, I was in the first year of law school when we met, and I was too busy worrying about exams to be even slightly amusing.

    That is a very cute story
    In all of its mirth and glory
    Like Rob and Laura
    Their middle class aura
    or Rosemarie and Morrie! :-)
