Gas turned low,
    They confess
Their romance.
    She says Yes,
Date is named,
    Cards sent out.
Soon they\u2019re on
    Marriage route.
Friends all say,
    \u201cDandy match,
She\u2019s a queen,
    He\u2019s a \u2018catch.\u2019\u201d
Thing\u2019s all right
    For a while.
He\u2019s for clubs,
    She\u2019s for style.
Chorus girl
    Soon he sees,
Sends her flowers
    Just to please.
Wife finds out,
    Doesn\u2019t care;
Goes abroad
    Everywhere.
Lawyer starts
    Then, of course,
Wife\u2019s suit
    For divorce.
Husband fails
    To appear
In the court
    Or come near.
Get divorce
    Without a flaw;
They both yell,
    \u201cHip Hurrah.\u201d
Alimony
    Paid each week.
Now they\u2019re friends,
    So they speak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
