Couples and Romance -- partners and software

PART ONE_

   On the art of couples and Cupid

I am now reading 2008 Suze Rotolo’s

“A Freewheelin’ Time: a memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties”, 

which is absolutely first-rate.

They (20 and 17) shared life 

and apartment....

CONTEXT:   here

• In Bob Dylan's 2004 memoir Chronicles Volume One, he describes meeting Rotolo backstage at a concert.

• "Right from the start I couldn't take my eyes off her,"

• "She was the most erotic thing I'd ever seen. She was fair skinned and golden haired, full-blooded Italian. The air was suddenly filled with banana leaves.  

• We started talking and my head started to spin. Cupid's arrow had whistled past my ears before, but this time it hit me in the heart and the weight of it dragged me overboard.

PART TWO_  HUMOUR

Jokes on partners and husbands

# I had some words with my wife, .....

and she had some paragraphs with me.
