she promised me a candle lit dinner for two.
i provided the candles, she ate the dinners.

that's the way it is with her, and i told she had to change her ways.
so she started eating with her fork in her right hand.

we lifted our spirits, and drank them.
then we really lifted our spirits and went for a ride on a roller coaster.
just as our rattling cart reached the top and were about to scream down a sheer drop, she told me she needed the toilet.
i said she'd just have to hold on.
unfortunately, she held onto me, and by the time we reached the bottom, my trousers were damp.

i didn't say anything.

i told her the romance had gone from our lives.
she told me to shut up and have a bite of her macaroon.

i did.

we're still together, but for how much longer?

? ... to be concluded ...
