"Pop goes the Tire"

25 years ago, my Uncle and Aunt confirmed their love,
In the presence of their peers, and God watching above.
A ring on one finger and love in their heart,
They promised it all, "till death do us part."

Two kids and 25 years later
Their love still burns like the flame of a lighter.
25 years of marriage is a true milestone.
To show our appreciation a celebration must be thrown.

All together we decided a plan,
A perfect surprise for my Uncle and Aunt.
The day had come and we set of toward my Uncle's home.
But before we knew it, something came up and our ride was postponed.

As we cruised down the parkway heading towards Bear Mountain,
The car suddenly jumped. This will be bad for certain.
Broken shards of glass that twinkled like a star,
Pop the back tire of our car!

How will we ever get there on time now?
My father got nervous and wiped the sweat of his brow.
There is no way we can be late!
We have to get to their house before eight!

As my father and I thought for a few minutes,
It suddenly hit us! The trunk! There must be a spare tire in it!
We quickly jacked up the car and began to loosen the nuts.
We were able to change the tire without to much fuss.

We got on the road but not a moment too soon.
In the nick of time, we pulled into my Uncles driveway.
Decorated their house with streamers and balloons.
When my Uncle and Aunt saw the surprise, they were truly blown away.
