Stella relaxes in her favorite book nook
She reads a spy novel and becomes quite shook
Most of the action takes place in Spain
It’s armchair travel – she’ll never take a plane
—
Stella’s husband’s a dentist – his name is Rob
He fixes bridges at his toothy job
Rob’s favorite flower is a yellow tulip
He watches the Derby and drinks a mint julep
—
Rob walks his dog Cadfael in the morning fog
At nights he sleeps like a giant oak log
He’s been married to Stella for thirty great years
She cuts his shaggy hair with razor sharp shears
—
Evenings they watch classics on their big screen TV
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s are their favorites to see
Kitty Simon sits with them on the couch
He watches too – for that they can vouch
—
Friday nights they go out and shoot pool
Only two beers each – that’s their rule
Stella needs to buys some smaller pants
But to go shopping she hasn’t had a chance
—
Rob likes Stella to wear tight jeans
They stay up and make no embarrassing scenes
But Stella loathes department stores
She prefers to stay home with the books she adores
—
Rob loves Stella and wants no other
And everyone likes her – including his mother
She loves him too – about that there’s no doubt
On their anniversary – there’s much to sing about
