Happy Sunday to you and welcome to the first
edition of Soppy Sunday. You may have heard some of the readings I will feature
before but I can say from the married side that when you hear/read them whilst
you are planning your Wedding they do take on a whole new meaning.
So I would advise that you have a tissue at the
ready!
A Lovely Love Story
By Edward Monkton
The fierce Dinosaur was trapped inside his cage of
ice.
Although it was cold he was happy in there. It was,
after all, his cage.
Then along came the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
The Lovely Other Dinosaur melted the Dinosaur’s
cage with kind words and loving thoughts.
I like this Dinosaur thought the Lovely Other
Dinosaur.
Although he is fierce he is also tender and he is
funny.
He is also quite clever though I will not tell him
this for now.
I like this Lovely Other Dinosaur, thought the
Dinosaur.
She is beautiful and she is different and she
smells so nice.
She is also a free spirit which is a quality I much
admire in a dinosaur.
But he can be so distant and so peculiar at times,
thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
He is also overly fond of things.
Are all Dinosaurs so overly fond of things?
But her mind skips from here to there so quickly
thought the Dinosaur.
She is also uncommonly keen on shopping.
Are all Lovely Other Dinosaurs so uncommonly keen
on shopping?
I will forgive his peculiarity and his concern for
things, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
For they are part of what makes him a richly
charactered individual.
I will forgive her skipping mind and her fondness
for shopping, thought the Dinosaur.
For she fills our life with beautiful thoughts and
wonderful surprises. Besides,
I am not unkeen on shopping either.
Now the Dinosaur and the Lovely Other Dinosaur are
old.
Look at them.
Together they stand on the hill telling each other
stories and feeling the warmth of the sun on their backs.
And that, my friends, is how it is with love.
Let us all be Dinosaurs and Lovely Other Dinosaurs
together.
For the sun is warm.
And the world is a beautiful place
I Wanna Be Yours
By John Cooper-Clarke
I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
breathing in your dust I wanna be your Ford Cortina I will never rust If you like your coffee hot let me be your coffee pot You call the shots I wanna be yours I wanna be your raincoat for those frequent rainy days I wanna be your dreamboat when you want to sail away Let me be your teddy bear take me with you anywhere I don’t care I wanna be yours I wanna be your electric meter I will not run out I wanna be the electric heater you’ll get cold without I wanna be your setting lotion hold your hair in deep devotion Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean that’s how deep is my devotion. |
Until next time
Love
