Why Marry?

"My dear friend Harry,
Soon you'll be past your prime,
Why don't you marry?"

"Just for the little milk I need,
I don't have to buy a cow
To keep and feed."

"My dear girl Mary,
You're a bit overripe,
Why don't you marry?"

"Just for the little sausage I need,
I don't have to buy a filthy pig
To keep and feed."
