One-Scene Play For Valentine's Day

~ aka 'De Couple' ~


"For you, my love, a box of Swiss chocolate"
   She stared at her spouse, "That's it?"

A bouquet of red roses he proffered
   She turned aside to spit

Then tossed the new mink in the trash--
   "But you ask every year ~ Oh, I quit!"

"What is it you'd like?" cried he in frustration
   "A divorce," thus she. "Too expensive," thus he
      Thus she, "Then let's just 'decouple"
