Big Joe And Ann

They have been together for six decades Big Joe and Ann his wife But things not always rosy in their married life They often do argue but not every day In every long term marriage all is not always loving as some tend to believe or say She is quite a tough one the feisty ageing Ann She never feels scared to stand up to her man In their married life many an up and down And their's is one of the longest lived marriages on their side of the town With eighteen great grandchildren in the town their seed will live on Long after the last breath of life from them has gone In their early eighties many years past their physical prime They have been together for quite a long time Big Joe as his name says of him is broad shouldered and tall And standing near him Ann looks so demure and small But when it comes to raw courage she passes the test In every argument with her he comes out second best They will be together until their lives journey end Though their marriage has not been all loving as neither of them would pretend Joe may be ageing though he remains a big and strong man But he has yet to win an argument against the feisty Ann.
