You could try writing one yourself!!! My mother started this as at tradition at family milestones and wrote some very amateurish but amusing verses (and I have now taken up the cudgels - although with less success than my mother since I am no poet!). What they lack in artistic merit, they make up for in a personal sentimental touch which are hugely treasured by the recipients! Just a thought.

I always like this Winnie the Pooh poem - it's sentimental with out being slushy - I read it at my sister's wedding.

Where ever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
Whatever I do, he wants to do,
``Where are you going today?'' says Pooh:
``Well, that's very odd 'cos I was too.
Let's go together,'' says Pooh, says he.
``Let's go together,'' says Pooh.

``What's twice eleven?'' I said to Pooh.
``Twice what?'' said Pooh to Me.
``I think it ought to be twenty-two.''
``Just what I think myself,'' said Pooh.
``It wasn't an easy sum to do,
But that's what it is,'' said Pooh, said he.
``That's what it is,'' said Pooh.

``Let's look for dragons,'' I said to Pooh.
``Yes let's,'' said Pooh to Me.
We crossed the river and found a few-
``Yes, those are dragons all right,'' said Pooh.
``As soon as I saw their beaks I knew.
That's what they are,'' said Pooh, said he.
``That's what they are,'' said Pooh.

``Let's frighten the dragons,'' I said to Pooh.
``that's right,'' said Pooh to Me.
``I'm not afraid,'' I said to Pooh.
And I held his paw and I shouted ``Shoo!
Silly old dragons!'' -and off they flew.
``I wasn't afraid,'' said Pooh, said he.
``I'm never afraid with you.''

Where ever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
``What would I do?'' I said to Pooh.
``If it wasn't for you,'' and Pooh said: ``True,
It isn't much fun for One, but Two
Can stick together,'' says Pooh, says he.
``That's how it is,'' says Pooh.
