PAD 17 love

Not Peas and Carrots

We’ve loved each other for nearly forty years,

but we don’t go together like peas and carrots.

I like to travel, he likes to stay put.

I’m a writer, he doesn’t like to read.

I like to do things, he likes having done them.

I have dreams and plans, he goes with the flow.

We’ve gone through all our wedding vows;

good times or bad, sickness or health,

richer or poorer, better or worse or worser still.

We’re more like oil and vinegar, best when shaken.
