| Why Marriage Was Invented We're on our way to the party,our speed decreased Because we can't remember our hostess's name. I say it has three syllables at least. He says it's like a boy's, but not the same. I say it rhymes with "skirt" and starts with "R." He says it ends with "a" and not with "t." And just before we've finally parked the car, We reach "Roberta" simultaneously. In our long years together we have shared One family and one life of joy and pain, Not knowing that we've slowly been prepared To - fifty/fifty - also share one brain.
