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
