 Jim enjoyed writing poetry, this is a poem he wrote soon after being married

For one whole week you've been my bride 
 and I've found happiness in it.
 My wife and home are my joy and pride. 
 Please believe me I've loved every minute.
 
My darling Pudge neither scolds nor nags 
she's always ready to go along. 
 The bachelors can have their bags
 for me wedded life is a song. 
                                                    James C. Giltz
