Hilarious Marriage Differences
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In a cozy house, lived husband and wife,
Together they embarked on a married life.
But soon they noticed, with a bit of a shock,
Their habits clashed like a rusty lock.
In cleaning, he was tidy, oh so neat,
Every speck of dust, he aimed to defeat.
She, on the other hand, embraced the mess,
Saying, "Why clean it now? It will only regress!"
He would scrub and polish, and shine the floor,
While she left her dishes, piling more and more.
He'd fold his clothing with precise finesse,
But hers were tossed around in a rumpled mess.
With each argument, they began to learn,
That compromise was key, for their love to earn.
So, together they decided to find a way,
To bridge the gap and make harmony stay.
Now their home is filled with love and laughter,
Bickering no longer follows them thereafter.
Differences in habits, no longer a fight,
As they navigate this married life with delight.
