A man said to his wife one day, "I don''t know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
"The wife responded, "Allow me to explain."
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
Make for me a place within your heart
On which I can depend. For only you
Touch the ancient wellsprings of my tears,
Home through all the wanderings of my years,
Eden that no other can renew,
Root I cannot rend through rage or art.
