Will laughter ruin
this entire conversation?
Of course it will.
So do.
I come to you
in my reasonableness.
You wear yours
skin tight.
We could be married.
You could believe in me.
But all you want to do
is purchase a box set
of Beethoven symphonies.
But if you have
the money…
well that’s what
I’m here for.
Could romance
screw up the
entire transaction?
Of course it could.
That’s why
I don’t say
I love you
but tell you
a joke instead.
You burst out
laughing.
I’m paid well
for my humor.
But it’s Beethoven
who goes home with you.
