-- 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.
