Dear Sq. Ldr.

The quintessence of your 50 + years of marriage I’d want to address
Enjoying all this wedded bliss with the enchanting girl in a yellow dress
As a paragon of an alliance it’s highly laudable and makes good press
You must have seduced her with your inveigling charm and warm caress
Or did you marry this lovely Mahim damsel with subtle manly duress
But when choosing your lifetime’s sweetheart, you were not reckless
What your Destiny without your peach would be is anyone’s wild guess

Without her strong spousal support you could have been a bloody mess
She’s been nobly by your side through dark adversity and tough stress
Gamely sharing your great triumphs and disappointments nonetheless
Her virtue, patience and fidelity has brought you success and happiness
You’ve made her proud of you, but for faux pas she never sought redress
So with your darling Thecla as your mate forever your union is matchless
Congratulations and may you have many more years together, God Bless!!!

Sincerely
Arnold

With all your astuteness, it should not be difficult for you to condense this extraordinary experience with slick Santan into one sagacious aphorism. Or you could at least paraphrase it for your next personnel management seminar class dealing with friendly fraud? By the way did you manage to land Santan’s second scion that sinecure position as Hoecst’s Managing Director?.
Your theme is a classic that I enjoyed for its satire and your goodnatured way of laughing off a very provocative situation. Of course I feel more sorry for your dear missus for having put up with that chicanery and resulting extra expense and inconvenience. Your forbearance is simply incredible.
A truly marvellously written episode.
Regards
Arnold
