I met my love at a pub
Drinking a pint of brew
We fell madly in love
Before I really knew
However I had an issue
He had a tattoo of his exwifes name
On his upper arm
TRISH
Outwitting an unwilling participate is a hard thing to do
Especially when the other person doesn't have a clue
The humiliation my cause for alarm
We needed to find a solution Before there was further harm
I sweetly batted my eyes and suggested
He add a line under the letter T
changing the name from
TRISH to IRISH
HELL NO he replied I'm not Irish
I held my temper at all cost
I began to think the situation was lost
although my blood began to boil
We needed to find our way through this toil
I stood my ground
I smiled speaking in the sweetest voice I found
leaving him no choice but accept my wish
WELL DARLING I'm not TRISH
He wondered how he would feel making love to me
If I had another man's name from him to see
His compassion saved the day
Understanding how I could feel this way
My darling love drinks a beer
To celebrate St Patrick's Day cheer
perhaps to remember the sacrifice he made to get here
Few know the story behind the tattoo he holds dear
Word to the wise
Think twice
about getting a tattoo a loved one may despise
A tattoo is like going under the knife
Your choice lasts a lifetime
Happy wife happy life
36 years together
