So down the road one starry night, He travelled not far from his own home light. A girl he found with 'rosy cheeks, with the gentle words she so often speaks, With smiles and laughter and lovely looks, And the knack that makes her the best of cooks. So off he went when his work was done, To call on one named Mary ,'Iunn. This was the girl to be his wife, That he would cherish all his life. And Mary looked for Edward Boyce, To come for her in his Rolls-Royce, 'Twas not the roads with their many bumps, That made her heart take those happy thumps. 'Twas dashing Ed and a certain question, That Mary answered with no hesitation, So married they were in nineteen thirty-sev- en. And who would ever be near- er to heaven ? They made their home on Concession three. Good neighbors they were to you and to me. A beautiful home, they accom- plished together. A' wonderful business for all kinds of wea- ther. A happier couple you never did see, And there was Joan in the family tree. More there were. But well 1 Oh shucks! These new additions were gravel trucks. And so to- night we gather here, To join with you in the best of cheer, Your silver wedding to celebrate. And wish you all that you do rate, May your blessings be un- told, As the' silver turns to gold. Please accept from us this gift. And we'll be balk for• the fiftieth. Signed on behalf of friends and neighbors.
