*A bit of doggerel for the wedding of dear friends Christine (Swiss) and Jon (American) Cross in 2002.* In the year two thousand and two AD A Swiss miss called Chris crossed the Atlantic Sea In search of a husband? Oh no, to be kind, Her professional duties kept such things from her mind. This Swiss miss’s path crossed the path of a Cross, A fine dashing lawyer (no contradiction in this!). In no time, and with no doubt a memorable kiss, She accepted his offer to be Chrissie Cross. So the tale of our Swiss miss called Chris and her Cross Has only begun. And we’re not at a loss For words of affection, best wishes, and joy, For our favourite Swiss miss and her Washington boy.
