Chalk and Cheese

Chalk and Cheese When you say no, I say yes When you say skirt, I say dress When you say lie, I don’t confess When you say more, I say less When I say argue you just agree When I say bush, you say tree When I say expensive, you say free I hate the way you undermine me When I give up, you never surrender I like coronation, you watch Eastender I say it’s ugly, you marvel its splendour When I have amnesia, you always remember When I want to fight, you want to talk When you want to run, I want to walk When I feel happy, you sit and sulk I am your cheese and you are my chalk.

Hi Emilia, I love: My Cold Cup of Tea...now that has struck a chord. Chalk and Cheese, that's the wife and I, but it works so well. We've been married 14 years, wouldn't change a day, well maybe the odd one. Thanks for reading. I read a few others and loved the originality, take care and keep safe. Dave
