[Groop]A Request

[Mark Brown]

I shall raid various jars I know my Mum has stashed in their house somewhere
(I shall tell her first of course....) and will let you know.

And in Britain its:    "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed,
Something Blue"
and being kissed by grubby looking chmney sweeps and having loose change in
your shoes are added bonuses !

When the long suffering Mrs B and I got married I made the mistake of
telling my best man that I had been wearing my wifes wedding shoes to try
and stretch them a little for her as they were a bit tight.  This is a
confession I would not recommend, as one of the subjects of his speech
centered around what he beleived was my new found love of cross-dressing.
Some of my relatives still look at me strangely.


What I have realised is that the little ryhme changes meaning once you have
got married:

BEFORE:
OLD was what our parents are.
NEW was our love.
BORROWED was the time we spent with each other.
BLUE was our love also !

AFTER:

Now my Wife looks really OLD.
We get a NEW bill every month.
The money we used to get married with was BORROWED.
and BLUE is the colour of the air when the bills arrive.

Still wouldnt change it for the world.

Attention British Isle & Australian Groopies!

I have a favor (or is that favour?) to ask.  Could one of you find me a 1979
sixpence?  It's for my son's wedding.  ("Something borrowed, something blue,
and a sixpence in your shoe.")  I suggested "Something borrowed, something
Groo, and a lead miniature in your shoe.", but that didn't go over too well.
1979 was the year they were both born. Thanks and take care -Gary G.
