Can't Complain

 Good Evening All 

Just a shorty 

Bedtime's come and gone 

Here to tell you 

Lived a happy life 

Had a few bumps  

Bumps along the way 

Father was mean 

Boxed my ears for naught 

First wife ran off 

Fell for a student 

Trust for women 

'Twas gone for three years 

Those were bad times 

Doors opened for me 

Rest was simple 

Behind something good 

I don't complain 

Hitched fifty-two years 

Best wife for me 

Simple, beautiful 

Open doors, used cars 

New ones not called for 

GI Bill was good 

College, three degrees 

Jobs as needed 

Factory then service 

There I learned a trade 

Aerospace Engineer 

Back to school 

College after work 

With law degree 

I taught Business Law 

Been retired, years 

Twenty-six Mrs 

Twenty-four mine 

Golf and travel time 

Now we are aged 

Life's been good for us
