-- NaPoWriMo Day Eight
Mix and Match (not)
He was 82
She was 22
He was filthy rich
She was pee pot poor
They met at dinner
Vichyssoise with duck
Scalloped beans and rice
She cooked French style
Through stomach man's love
His money her goal
Los Vegas marriage
Mutual courting six weeks
Convenience wed
Him to die her wait
Please him he did wish
Though neither occurred
Back to mother she
Batching alone he
Lasted twenty years
Both died in April
That was their story
Takes two make the change

A great poem/story that comes with the cautionary "we don't always get we want" ~ or do we?
I am not doing the April poetry challenge, I have in the past But learned very quickly writing under the pressure of a deadline is not ME.
Oops, I was on my iPad, Helen left comment #1.
