Inexplicable

 

She

was serious as the grave –

her fancy never tickled,

never blitzed (nor

bombed or pickled);

severe, unsmiling, grim,

not ever (even once)

given to whim.

He

was nutty as a fruitcake –

wholly daft (and only half-baked),

comical, absurd,

feather-brained (or bird-)

pixilated, whimsical,

goofy, giddy, giggly and

completely eyebrow-wiggly.

A ridiculous blind date

set up by friends –

a joke, a gaffe;

but they (yin and yang)

had the last laugh:

so totally contrary

fifty years later,

still happily married.
