Life is a bitch -- my darling

Life is a bitch

But make that two,

My Darling,

Because I’m too!

And the two of us

stand strong!

. . .

So, take that purple thong

I found in our bed,

And stick it to...

You know where.

And go on with your affair.

. . .

I’m not crying.

See my finger?

Err, my leg!

Just don’t beg

me, later on,

to take you back.

. . .

Finito! Buster!

Now, go on

and eat her pasta.

I'll take care of myself

-- myself!

. . .

Don't worry,

I won't mope

around like a dope

while you're gone.

I'll be just fine!

In fact, I might even

enjoy being alone for a change!

. . .

Now, go get her!

She’s waiting there for you

With that alluring smile,

All decked out in white

She’s ready and willing

to be with you!

Me -- not so much!

"Mi scusi" (sorry)
