CHALK AND CHEESE

R. N. TABER

We met at a party and I recall thinking
how loudmouths should refrain
from drinking;
When my turn came for a corny chat-up
line, dissuading took a discreet
knee in the groin;
At my home the next day, flowers
arrived ­ that I
ignored;
Next, a call with grovelling apologies
asking for a date, the
cheek of it!
Without making too many analogies
with a Mad Hatteršs do, the
meal was a fiasco;
We kept tripping over our tongues
and, finally, took refuge
in silence;
Imagine my surprise when I took a call
suggesting a repeat
performance!
This time, we almost enjoyed a picnic
with champagne ­ until it
poured with rain;
I forget how many times we agreed
never to see each other
again

At least lifešs not boring. Išve even
learned to live with the snoring'
