We're Odd

The prompt was about an odd combination. Since Bill and I just celebrated our thirty-ninth anniversary and I wanted to write about us, this is what came.


We are an odd combination

he’s a scorpio, I’m cancer
he’s a get it out, I’m a pouter
he’s devout, I’m a searcher
he loves the beach, I like the mountains
he doesn’t like ice cream, I think he’s nuts
he loves bread, I eat sweets
he loves spicy, I like mild
he has five sisters, I have five brothers
he reads history, I read fiction
he’s type A, I’m type Z
he’s a go getter, I’m a napper
he’s a get er done, I’m a thinker
he’s a night person, I like the mornings
he hates poetry, I write it
he loves music, I think it’s noise
he doesn’t want dogs, I want two
he likes fast food, I like meat and potato
he comes from love, I come from abuse
