Marriage Clashes

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Oh, the joy of married life,
With its never-ending strife.
Habits clash, and tempers soar,
As we learn to share one chore.

The dishwasher, our nemesis,
Brings on its own set of stress.
To load the plates, should they face in?
Or outwards, for an easy spin?

I say, "Cutlery should be up!"
But you insist on having it down.
Oh, the battles we fight and fuss,
Over dishes, in this married truce.

Then there's the grocery cupboard fight,
Where organization is our might.
You want the snacks on the top shelf,
While I say veggies should be there, myself.

But, my dear, differences aside,
In each other's arms, we find our stride.
For every silly argument we face,
Is just another chance to embrace.
