SHE: I find you make me ill at ease <br />Your temper is explosive; <br />You’re gruff and rude and frankly <br />Your sarcasm is corrosive. <br /> <br />HE: Indeed you are so hard to please <br />Illogic and so mincing <br />Your arguments are feather light <br />Not in the least convincing. <br /> <br />SHE: Your hands are large and wandering <br />You’re like a puffed up Lilo <br />I’d like to see you as a new <br />Male version of de Milo. <br /> <br />HE: You’re not as perfect as you think <br />I’d rather have Godiva <br />Remember that when next you try <br />To touch me for a fiver. <br /> <br />SHE: You speak to me beguilingly <br />And fancy you’re persuasive <br />But truth to tell dear Murgatroyd <br />I find your words abrasive. <br /> <br />HE: Your words come over loud and clear <br />Your nagging’s so enduring <br />But truth to tell dear Mary-Jane <br />An adder’s more alluring. <br /> <br />SHE: I wish, I wish you’d take yourself <br />To London or Nebraska <br />Or since you think you’re just the cream <br />Become a Baked Alaska!<br /><br />Margaret Kollmer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/baked-alaska-a-marital-difference/
