Of the cake she's about to share. . . .

In marriage, words take on a twist,
What’s said and heard don’t always exist!
'I’ll be ready in five," she calls from the hall,
He knows it means, "An hour—that’s all."
She says, "The garbage is piling up high,"
But he thinks she means, "Oh, maybe next July."
And when she says, "I’m fine," with a sigh,
He’s learned it means, "Figure out why!"
"Do you like my new dress?" she sweetly proclaims,
He pauses, careful—it’s a dangerous game!
"I love it, dear, it’s just your style,"
Relieved, he watches her happy smile.
Selective hearing? Oh, they’ve mastered the art,
Miscommunication? It’s just the start!
But through the laughs and muddled cues,
Their love shines bright—it always renews.
For in the end, they both agree,
Life’s a lot more fun with a little comedy.
He leaves his socks all over the floor,
She says, “Could you not? That’s what drawers are for!”
She hums off-key while cleaning the sink,
He just laughs and gives her a wink.
The toothpaste? Oh, that’s a daily fight,
One squeezes left, the other right.
She buys more throw pillows than they could ever use,
He wonders if it’s décor or just an excuse.
But over the years, those quirks remain,
What once annoyed, now doesn’t feel the same.
For love isn’t perfect—it’s messy and true,
It’s learning to smile at the little things too.
So, when socks pile up or dishes are missed,
Remember these quirks are part of the bliss.
Because marriage is built on laughter and grace,
Finding joy in the habits you can’t replace.
In a cozy house, lived husband and wife,
Together they embarked on a married life.
But soon they noticed, with a bit of a shock,
Their habits clashed like a rusty lock.....

When we were dating, it felt like a dream,
Romance and magic, the ultimate team.
Long dinners by candlelight, so much to say,
Now it’s leftovers and Netflix to end the day.
Back then, you’d bring me flowers galore,
Now you say, “I fixed the creaky door!”
Love notes once left on my car with a pen,
Have turned into texts that just say, “What’s for dinner, then?”
The fairy tale faded, but I wouldn’t trade,
The life we’ve built, the memories we’ve made.
The romance has shifted, but here’s the truth:
There’s beauty in comfort and joy in our goof.
You make me laugh like nobody can,
You’re still my partner, my number-one fan.
So while it’s not perfect, I know this for sure,
Our real-life love is one that’ll endure.
Oh, the joy of married life,
With its never-ending strife.
Habits clash, and tempers soar,
As we learn to share one chore. . . .

When we were young, we had energy to spare,
Now we’re both counting each gray hair.
You ask me, “Have you seen my phone?”
I laugh, “It’s in your hand—you’re never alone!”
We used to dance until the morning light,
Now we’re yawning by eight every night.
You talk about aches, I mention my knees,
We laugh and say, “Aging’s a breeze!”
The wrinkles have come, and the memory’s slow,
But through it all, our love still grows.
We may forget what we walked into a room to get,
But the laughter we share? I’ll never forget.
Life isn’t perfect, but it’s still a delight,
With you by my side, everything feels right.
Growing old together is the best kind of fun,
Because with each passing year, you’re still my number one.
In an old house, a couple dwelled,
Their love and bond, no words withheld.
But trouble brewed, right from the start,
For mother-in-law did join their part.. . . .

In the dance of marriage, like a comedy ballet,
We navigate together, finding joy in each cliche.
Through quirks and laughs, in this matrimony parade,
Forever partners in hilarity, the memories never fade.
Marriage, a sitcom with a laugh track so divine,
Mismatched socks and toothpaste wars, the punchlines intertwine.
Through the chaos and the love, hand in hand we roam,
In this marital comedy, we've found our forever home.
In the book of wedded tales, each chapter a jest,
From snoring symphonies to who wears the pants best.
With love as our punchline, and laughter as our glue,
Marriage's comedy is timeless, just me and you.
A marriage melody, notes of humor and delight,
Through kitchen catastrophes to pillow fights at night.
In this hilarious duet, as partners we sing,
Our love story's a comedy, with laughter as the wing.
Marriage, the grand theater of the absurd,
With plots of forgotten anniversaries and misheard words.
Yet in this comedic union, where laughter's always near,
We find bliss in the humor, year after year.
Marriage is love with a humorous twist,
It’s "Where’s my keys?" and "They’re in your fist!"
It’s laughter and quirks that never grow old,
A journey together worth more than gold.
Marriage is not always perfect, but laughter makes the journey lighter. Through these funny poems, we are reminded that love grows not only in grand gestures but in the everyday moments that make us smile. A shared laugh can turn a challenge into a memory, and even the quirks we once questioned become part of the joy we treasure. May these verses bring a chuckle to your heart and remind you that humor is one of love’s greatest companions.
