Marriage Is Funny

Inspired: The Comedy of Red Skelton

I married “Ms. Right” by the County Court hallways

I just didn’t know her first name was, “Always”

We’ll eat somewhere special at least once a week

It’s my turn tomorrow, I’ll go somewhere unique

Last year we picked someplace to just get away

She went to Las Vegas, I went to LA

She asked if I missed her for traveling so far

I did with the Pickup, but let’s try the car

She loves getting mud packs, I try not to scoff

She truly looks better, but then it comes off

We love going camping, we go well off the track

Wherever I leave her she finds her way back

Adventures’s her passion, she’s really been itchin’

I took her downstairs and showed her the kitchen

She loves holding hands and we may never stop

If I let it go she continues to shop

She says she’s unhappy, “Our marriage corrupt”

It been forty minutes, I won’t interrupt

The number one reason that people divorce

Statistics will show it’s from marriage, of course
