THIS AND THAT

They fell in love: each a shining example of what the other wanted in a mate As time went on, it came to pass that He discovered that he wanted a little more of that And she wanted a little less of this So-this is where it sat With no real discussion, over the years, of the growing lists of this and that’s Ohh…there were spats but we all know that spats don’t offer real solutions In fact, they always fall flat And the relationship was slowly chipped at until, eventually, in its final act One of them hit the doormat And THAT is neither this nor that
