One-Scene Play For Valentine's Day

~ aka 'De Couple' ~ "For you, my love, a box of Swiss chocolate" She stared at her spouse, "That's it?" A bouquet of red roses he proffered She turned aside to spit Then tossed the new mink in the trash-- "But you ask every year ~ Oh, I quit!" "What is it you'd like?" cried he in frustration "A divorce," thus she. "Too expensive," thus he Thus she, "Then let's just 'decouple"

Well, divorce is a fact of life here in the USA. I think that a little over 50% of all marriages end in divorce here. Only Russia's race has been higher over the last two decades... Interesting statistics there... :) gw
