Death of Dating Happened On a Wednesday
Death of dating started to happen on a Wednesday.
We had eaten a lovely supper at a favorite restaurant
Loved it going down.
Not so much two hours later as it came back up
Death of dating continued to happen the next Friday
When a disgruntled employee who was fired put shards of glass
Into the chunks of blue cheese that got put into my salad
At another restaurant.
Final straw which insured death of dating happened after we
Got married, had three children and realized we could buy a lot
Of groceries, diapers, and formula with the money we used
To use while dating.
Decided to bury dating and begin eating at home where we
Discovered neither of us was a bad cook; as a matter of fact
We like our cooking better than anybody else's
And we can stay safe at the same time.
Besides have you paid a babysitter lately?
Besides their pay there are Christmas bonuses and you
Have to pay their car insurance.
