Wives

Toasting Home

Here's a toast to those who make toasts worthwhile -- Our Wives!

Here's to our better halves,
Who reconcile us to our poorer quarters!

To a Wife.

She is a winsome wee thing,
She is a handsome wee thing,
She is a bonnie wee thing,
This sweet wee wife o' mine.

Here's to my wife!
Wish her long life!
She's mightily good looking, unrivaled at cooking;
Knows all about medicine, as inventive as Edison;
Just plumb full of grit, has no equal for wit;
Sees the point when I joke, insists that I smoke;
Never chews the rag when I get a jag;
She knows how to sew, still calls me her beau.

Here's to a good wife,
The greatest blessing Heaven can send --
