Someone else invented the new math of today, but I tried to explain it in a new poetic way.




Marriage Making Sense

This is your fourth marriage, I think I heard you say,
I reckon that’s not unusual in the lifestyle of today,

But Chuck is a Funeral Director, was he a school sweetheart,
No but when I met him , I knew we’d never part,

My first was to a banker’s son, and true love couldn’t wait ,
My second was to a movie star , the divorce was really great ,

My third was something special a preacher don’t you know,
Then just last year , the virus got him and I lost ol’Joe,

Well Ma’am that’s quite unusual, you’ve had the worst of luck,
No young man it’s all been planned, that’s why I married Chuck,

You see, It’s one for the money and two for the show ,
Three to get ready and four to go!

Dum,Ta Dum, Dum Where is my padded room?

That was your best one yet! If it's original, I will spread it to all of my Internet friends. But if you just borrowed it, let me know.

Oh, come on, Tom, it's alright as maths go, but as poetry, you must be kidding; there are better ways of getting a padded cell than via marriage. What if the divorce - Hollywood style - intervened before the show??? Miss your serious stuff. Perhaps the guy who got an upper-cut on the chin in "Bar None What?" might have something to say about this since he's still smarting from the punch. Next time, deliver a Longfellow left-jab to the nose and rip him below the belt in the "hull"
-- that'll put him out of action and sink his wrecked rubble... Let's hope anyway!!!
