Not Taking Either Side

'He this...'
She says.
'She that...'
He replys.
And I listen to this,
Not taking either side.
Quarrels do not feed my appetite.
Especially when I'm caught...
In the midst of a domestic fight!
'What do 'you think? '
She asks.
'Don't get involved! '
Says he!
And I look for the bathroom...
Since all of this makes me pee!
'Sure, take his side! '
She says as I moved!
And as he walked to the door...
Guess who goes through it,
To get away from these two?
I know the signs of divorce,
And I knew quickly what to say and do!
'Thanks for dinner!
I just remembered it's my anniversary! '

'I thought you said you were divorced? '
Says he.

OH! I am!
Thank you for reminding me to celebrate it!
