This poem was written by a workaholic dad:
I have a son who’s five years old, a boy so very fine.
When I look at him it seems to me that all the world is mine.

They grumble when it’s dry,
And if the

I like the story of a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary. She offered her secret to long and happy marriage: "On my wedding day, I decided to make a list of ten of my husband’s faults which, for the sake of our marriage, I would overlook."
One guest asked what some of them were.
