Love is lovelier the second time around

Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground

It’s that second time you hear your love song sung

Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young

Honey, is that you!

He’s already lost his head over her!!!

Well, he said he was separated.

Watch out boys, she’s a man-eater.

Don’t lose your head – it’s only love!

Oh, he was married before, I presume

Did she talk or bite his head off?

Did he say he forgot his wallet?

“We never talk any more, you never say you love me.”

It was their first date. It was his last date.

What restaurant is that? Is it Bernie’s? Date night at Bernie’s.

She loved him for his mind – it was delicious.

So, she goes all the way on the first date?

And…a side of fava beans for the lady.

Looks like she did that before he had the chance to pay the bill.

Funny to read this immediately after today’s “Strange Brew.”

No. He looks like this after ….
