Robyn & Eric

She studies bones and muscles

I know that’s pretty vague                                        

This girl from Waterloo, who

Was born as Robyn Haig.

                                                                                                                               

She’s pretty, fit and nifty,

At softball, she’s an ace,

To Wayne State University

This game won her a place.

                                                                                                

While there, she met her Eric,

A young Toledo guy,

Quite soon it was realized that

By her, he’d aye stand by.

 Now Eric, is a sportsman,             

 A game of golf, enjoys,

 But when it comes to Robyn

 He’ll put away his toys.

 And so the date for marriage,

 June twenty seventh, set,

 Where, at the Detroit Yacht Club,

 These two, form one duet.

 It’s been a grand occurrence

 Five maidens for the bride,

 All radiant in fuchsia

 And standing by her side.

 She studies bones and muscles,

 So it would just be right,

 The place she was proposed to

 Was ‘Fishbones’, in Detroit

 So when she starts employment

 As an osteopathic,

 The name above her door will

 Be Robyn Kirkpatrick

 We send congratulations,

 Had not planned to attend,

 From nan and pompa Perkins,

 Your neighbour and your friend..
