MARRIAGE TALES


from the ABC set RELATIONSHIPS

SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND ME

I told her “my wife doesn’t understand me”
But she didn’t believe a word I said I could see
She said, “ I can’t believe you are so selfish”
No it’s true her name is Anna and she is Polish

THE MARRIAGE QUESTION

A Son asked
“How much does it cost to get married, Dad”?
The Father replied
“I don't know I'm still paying for it lad”

ISN’T LOVE GRAND?

Love is grand and that’s the truth
But divorce is fifty grand - struth

YOU MAKE YOUR BED

When your married or in relationships
And you go out and order fish and chips
You notice what other men have ordered
Thinking their choices would be preferred

MARRIAGE WORDS

Before marriage,
A man will lie awake all night
Thinking about something she said
After marriage,
He will fall asleep before completing
The first sentence she said

BEFORE AND AFTER

A man may believe before marriage
That he is incomplete or diminished
A word of caution before rushing in
After you’re married you’re finished

A QUESTION OF MARRIAGE

Dad, I heard at school today,
That in the east like in Bombay
A man doesn't know his wife
Until he marries her for life
That happens everywhere,
Son, absolutely everywhere

GRAND WISDOM

It is a foolish man who
Gives his wife a grand piano
But a wise man who
Gives her an upright organ – oh

WISDOM OF CATS AND DOGS

A wife who keeps putting
Her husband in the doghouse
May well drive him into
Seeking comfort in a cathouse

LOVE IS BLIND

It is true that
Love is blind-er
And marriage is
The eye-open-er
