Sandra And Freddy Poem by Francis Duggan

One would have to go back some five decades in time
Since Freddy the Dancer was in his prime
But for his age he is lively and on his feet light
And at the bowls club on Saturday he dances all night

With his beloved Sandra his long term wife
Fifty one years of marriage their contract for life
With seven great grandchildren they have seen a better day
But for octogenarians they are doing quite okay

Freddy and Sandra have their claim to renown
As the finest dancing pair ever in the town
To everybody in the town they are well known
In their decades of dancing their legends have grown

The grayness of time may be in the hair
Of Sandra and Freddy the Dancer the marvelous pair
With people half of their age on the dance floor they compete
And time has not left them with leaden like feet.
