Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Special Occasion

"Do you know what today is, dear?"
The wife asked hubby at breakfast.
"Of course," Hubby said in good cheer,
But mentally he vainly cussed,
Having not a clue why today
Was important. He left for work.
Later that day, a huge bouquet
From hubby gave the wife a perk,
Also, a great big candy box.
Later came a designer gown,
With a necklace of ruby rocks.
She called hubby at work downtown.

"How wonderful," the wife did say,
"To be treated on Groundhog Day."
