Jack and Lex’s Story Poem

Loving another can be quite complex,
This is ever so true for our dear Jack and Lex,
In marrying today, their bond they will stoke,
As we celebrate love that is truly bespoke,

Distant branches they are in the Sims family tree,
With Jack in Design and Lex in QV,
A work-based romance, which is why we’re all here,
They started as friends and then shifted gear,

A story of love, both crazy and stupid,
I’m not only their celebrant but also their cupid,
Lex moved in to The Blue House and gave cycling a crack,
And rode in to work with me Bert and Jack,

Lex had an e-bike that sometimes worked well,
His old K-mart pushbike made keeping up hell,
The e-bike reduced the distance between us,
And Jack fell in love with Lex’s thick tyres,

The way their love grew all seems kind of hazy,
With Jack keeping fit and Lex being lazy,
From his e-bike, Lex thought it was neat,
Watching Jack ride ahead, pushing out of his seat,

Lex decided to propose through a message on Slack,
A poem just like this confessing his love for Jack,
Lex had given up hope thinking Jack wasn’t keen,
As a whole day had passed before it was seen,

These two men before us, both honest and funny,
Nicknamed Jack the Ripper and the Energizer Brunny,
Their union to most may seem pretty random,
But their bike ride of life hereafter is tandem.
