Two People

Eve Merriam

She reads the paper,

while he turns on TV;

she likes the mountains,

he craves the sea.

He'd rather drive,

she'll take the plane;

he waits for sunshine;

she walks in the rain.

He gulps down cold drinks,

she sips at hot;

he asks, "Why go?"

She asks, "Why not?"

In just about everything

they disagree,

but they love one another

and they both love me.
