Ph: Love: The Blue Pinky Nail! Poem by Brian Johnston

Ph: Love: The Blue Pinky Nail!

Rating: 5.0


My relationship (twelve years) has been quite a ride,
The cross-cultural elements all put aside,
Though she's foreign, her language is pleasure to hear,
With an ambiance really like birds drinking beer.

Yes, her humor's contagious, she's artist with hair,
Who can match, or explain Kimmy's natural flair,
Look on Yelp; She gets five stars! It's not high enough,
And to dress any cuter, in fact, would be tough.

Her coiffure and her nails always manage to shine,
Fashion taste is impeccable, how is she mine?
Even poetry friends wonder how we're a match,
And my answer is this! By God, she is a catch!

Did retirement mean you get a stipend for life?
You may think that she's crazy, but I love my wife!
As a pledge of commitment (for we don't wear rings) ,
Friends (who manicure) joked we should try other things.

So a matching blue pinky was born on that day,
And I threw in some sparkles to prove I would stay,
It's a humor filled coupling that we're going through,
Though my pinky's not pink, I'm sure not feeling blue!

Poet's Note:
Kimmy loves to cook Vietnamese food (and I love spicy meals) ,
is thirteen years younger than I am, and loves her job as a hair
stylist. I am triply blessed!
