Wives and Girl Friends

A good reason to get married,
Tim told me before he died,
is you need a driver to take you
 
home from a colonoscopy.
When cancer runs in the family
and three relatives have had it
 
colonoscopies become frequent.
You get used to drinking the potion
the day before the exam but
 
depending on the test results
you may get the same day,
driving yourself home isn’t
 
the wisest thing to do
no matter how long you may live.
A wife will take you home, Tim said.
 
A girlfriend might do it once
but then she will find someone else.
Tim had reasons to know.
