And what do you say to this!

He is mine and I am his

In all the world over

we found each other, and he is my lover

Until death do us part

and ever after

he has my heart

Hollering it from the rafter

I love my big bad John

He is my Hon

He is my Mon!

~~

He is my Mon

He is my Hon

I love my big bad John

Hollering it from the rafter

he has my heart

and ever after

until death do us part

We found each other, and he is my lover

In all the world over

He is mine and I am his

And what do you say to this?

Authors Note: Crab Canon — say it one way, then say it backward and have it be two different messages. It is rough and tough even for sages.

My Husband just turned 75 on March first of this year. I really appreciate his love and care as we age together.
