The dog threw up
The kids are ill
Our bank account
Is almost nil.
The laundry's
Stacked up in a pile
And I haven’t used the iron
In quite a while
The dishes are
Stacked up in the sink
We’ll have to buy new glasses
If we want to have a drink
The grass is long
The edges overgrown
I guess that’s what happens
When it doesn’t get mown
The car is up on blocks
The door is off its hinges
And every time the postman comes
I’m sure he really cringes
And now
My in-laws have come to stay
It’s their idea
Of a holiday
But apart from that
Everything’s great
And to you
These things I state
For fifteen years, now
We’ve been married
And in our hearts
Our hopes we’ve carried
I've only one thing
Left to say
That’s how much I love you
On this our Anniversary day
