Recipe for a Good Marriage
Half a cup of friendship and a cup of thoughtfulness,
Creamed together with a pinch of powdered tenderness,
Very lightly beaten in a bowl of loyalty,
With a cup of faith and one of hope and one of charity.
Be sure to add a spoonful each of gaiety that sings,
And also the ability to laugh at little things.
Moisten with the sudden tears of heartfelt sympathy.
Bake in a good-natured pan and serve repeatedly.
