Richard Willard Armour

1906-1989 / San Pedro, California

Too Have And Too Old

The bride, white of hair, is stooped over her cane
Her faltering footsteps need guiding.
While down the church aisle, with wan toothless smile,
The groom in a wheelchair comes riding.
And who is this elderly couple you ask?
You'll find, when you've closely explored it,
That here is that rare, most conservative pair,
Who waited ‘til they could afford it.
or
Who waited ‘til Daddy allowed it!
