Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Witty and Wacky

  
       Asked the census-taker, at once witty and wacky
           Are you two married, or are you happy

       We replied, We’re happily married 40 years now
          ~ For a couple married for 55, that’s a real WOW

Enjoyed G.W… I’m guessing your good lady wife doesn’t have your soup password ;-)…. What’s it worth to keep schtum? Gershon Wolf September 17, 2025 at 7:28 PM Either I'm going blind here, or you actually typed 'schtum.'

Joe Maverick September 16, 2025 at 1:34 PM Wedded and bliss..Sometimes a hit..' But most often she'll miss ' Thank God for female physical traits.' Gershon Wolf September 16, 2025 at 7:44 PM G-d goes both ways, far as I know. Plays no favorites...

John Lawless September 16, 2025 at 5:03 AM when asked "how long have you been married" my old brother always answers "I've always been married" Gershon Wolf September 16, 2025 at 7:45 PM I hear. Giggle.
