*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.
