Docking

I am reluctant to discuss the issue of gay marriage for fear of offending people over a matter which does not excite me over much.
However my old friend Dick has begged me to allow him to say a few words.
I have known Dick for many years. When we were young we spent a lot of time in each company supping ale, and when not drinking, we ploughed the fields and scattered our good seed on the land.
Dick lists his hobbies as beer and women! His favourite band is the Macc Lads.

‘It’s hard to believe there are guys out there that don’t like shagging women. But there really are some who are like that! I even know a bloke over near Buxton who has a meaningful relationship with a sheep.
You see, to me its all about docking. One person has a boat and the other person has a harbour.
The guy with the boat needs to park his boat sometimes, for rest and repairs. He likes to wander and roam the oceans, and he likes to give the girl with the harbour the things he has come across. That is his purpose.
The girl with the harbour likes the guy to park his boat and to receive his gifts. She likes to repair his boat. While he is in dock they can make some new boats.
But a harbour without a boat? Or two harbours and no boats? It doesn’t make sense.
A boat without a harbour is sad. Two boats without a harbour is very sad.
You can have a wedding between two harbours, or a wedding between  two boats, but you can’t ever have a marriage between two harbours or between two boats.
It’s the docking that makes a marriage.
No docking means no marriage.’
