Four Step Verse for Life

[H]

Two women met for the first time since their graduating from dance school.
One asked the other, "You were always so organized. Did you manage to live a well planned life? "
"Yes," said her friend, "I used our old four step verse."
"Our four step verse?" the other queried.
"My first marriage was to a millionaire;
my second marriage was to an actor;
my third marriage was to a preacher;
and now I'm married to an undertaker."
Her friend asked,
"What do those marriages have to do with a four step verse?"
"One for the money,
two for the show,
three to get ready,
and four to go."
