Stephanie & Gregory Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

They were having a seasonal date,
and the night first was early then late,
he then sought her advice
and she answered him twice
it would happen on August eight.

Why the eighth asked my diligent son,
I will laugh if this isn't a pun.
See, the number eight brings
to the wedding two rings,
which in this case is better than one!

I can see how he would entertain
the idea to arrange and attain
such a wonderful face
for his personal space
in a world so exceedingly plain.

So back to the number, I say
you can take it and shake it, you may
turn it sideways and up
like a measuring cup
the two rings though forever will stay.
