To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.
You Men
I was asked for an honest opinion,
and replied without second thought,
about the dress that she was now wearing,
at Debenham's recently bought.
I replied a little too frankly,
about colour, shape and size,
and learned a valuable lesson,
about women and telling lies !

In The Garden
One night in Eden, Adam was
Away from Eve all night.
When he came home next morning
Eve was spoiling for a fight.
He patiently explained that he
Was taking inventory
Of the nocturnal animals.
She didn't buy his story.
"Who was she?" Eve demanded,
But Adam laughed, "Tee Hee,
Eve, you know there ain't nobody
Else but you and me!"
"Oh yes, that's right," she said, but that
Night, lying by His Nibs,
She quietly sat up and then
Began to count his ribs.

I Do, I Will, I Have
How wise I am to have instructed the butler to instruct the first footman
to instruct the second footman to instruct the doorman to order my carriage;
I am about to volunteer a definition of marriage.
Just as I know that there are two Hagens, Walter and Copen,
I know that marriage is a legal and religious alliance entered into by a
man who can't sleep with the window shut and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
Moreover, just as I am unsure of the difference between flora and fauna
and flotsam and jetsam,
I am quite sure that marriage is the alliance of two people one of whom
never remembers birthdays and the other never forgetsam,
And he refuses to believe there is a leak in the water pipe or the gas pipe
and she is convinced she is about to asphyxiate or drown,
And she says Quick get up and get my hairbrushes off the windowsill,
it's raining in, and he replies Oh they're all right, it's only raining straight down.
That is why marriage is so much more interesting than divorce,
Because it's the only known example of the happy meeting of the
immovable object and the irresistible force.
So I hope husbands and wives will continue to debate and combat over
everything debatable and combatable,
Because I believe a little incompatibility is the spice of life, particularly if
he has income and she is pattable.
Ogden Nash
Husband's Advice
Don’t say it
makes her look fat…
No, don’t
ever do that.
She will
most assuredly cry.
Yes, it is
so much better to lie.
Buster B.
Wife’s Advice
For those
good ideas of which he is proud,
In one thing you, his wife, should be versed.
He should
never know he's simply allowed
To take
credit for what you thought of first.
Buster B.
