The Fable of Flora and Adolph and a Home Gone Wrong (1916)

One morning a Modern Solomon in charge of a Divorce Mill got up on his perch and told them to lead in the Matrimonial Miss-Fits. The first case that stared his honor in the face was that of Flora Botts vs. Adolph Botts. The judge sized them up and saw they were just as happy as a couple of panthers. He told Flora pulled the Sob Stuff with trembly voice. Her lawyers wept at $8 a weep. She said she had Talent and Adolph did not appreciate it. Every time she went to recite he said to lay off and cut out the mush. He was a Naughty Man. Adolph went on the stand. He said Poetry was his middle name, and four years before he composed a comic opera. A friend of his who worked in a hat store wrote the music. He also declared the bleach Flora used on her hair had made her soft under the turban. The judge decided Adolph should pay Flora 25 bucks a week and Flora should pay Adolph 25. The Court then adjourned for Lunch. Moral: Genius must never walk alone.
