Funny Pages

A sociologist
once predicted
that probably
any 200 of
opposite sexes
or same sex
would be appropriate
for any one
candidate,
partner, mate.

So happens
only 1 in 200
ever finds any
given point in time
necessary in life
to sew the thread
of mate-hood sublime.

Then said sociologist:
'Could infer as
from Soap Operator's digression,
for one partner is
possible 200 marriages
in succession...

Welcome partner to
the funny pages as
someone else's
obsession.



Patrick Darnell (1974)
