Both Parties Are Losers

In a divorce proceeding Both parties are losers Only the lawyers are winners While the judge is laughing The children are sobbing and crying The husband left holding A stinking empty bag And the wife and friends brag All day and night long Ladies and gentlemen, that's wrong My advice to you, my friends Try to find a common ground Before things get out of hands Work on a solid background Improve tolerance and friendship To build a better relationship Keep the knives and the forks Hidden, stocked and tucked In a safe place to save big bucks And best of luck.
