She Named Her Husband Ruth

She named her husband Ruth. He thought it was funny at first.
Her second husband was nicknamed Thomasina.
He left before the marriage was consummated.
You have to stop doing this her mother told her.
She nicknamed her mother spoil sport Dick.
Spoil Sport Dick disowned her.
