Presumption

We, oldies, look out the window quite often;
sometimes, our neighbors catch ourselves, and
we wave to each other. 

We heard the other couple arguing:
"So, you like the flatbellied old bee?"
"Like her flat belly is all."

"Let us divorce,
so you can marry the
flat-bellied woman."

The next day the arguing continued, and
the couple left home in seperate cars.
Are they going to get a divorce? 

After a while, he returnedalone and 
sat hunched on the porch. We thought 
she wouldn't be back soon--maybe, never.

"He needs some company,"
He was about to visit the man
when his wife returned.

Later that day, the couple showed up
at our door, all smily. In her arms are 
a couple of white puppies.

"Would you like one?" 
We both grabbed one of the puppies.
"Oh, isn't he cute?"
