A man had a girlfriend whose name was Lorraine. She was very pretty and he liked her a lot. One day he went to work to find that a new girl had started working there. Her name was Clearly, and she was absolutely gorgeous. He began to like her as well, and after a short while it became obvious that she was interested in him too. But, he was a loyal man, and he wouldn't get involved with Clearly while he was still going out with Lorraine. He decided that there was nothing for him to do but to break up with Lorraine and date the new girl. He planned several times to tell Lorraine but he couldn't bring himself to do it. But one day as they were walking along the river bank, Lorraine slipped and fell into the river. The current carried her off and she drowned. The man stopped for a moment by the river and then ran off smiling and singing... "I can see Clearly now Lorraine is gone..." Thanks (?) to Gwen Cook for this one.
