A Matter of Preference
Fred prefers a mouse
connected by a wire
to his keyboard.
Walt prefers a mouse
that’s portable, able
to roam over the desk
in Walt’s big hand.
For Walt the danger is
the mouse may slip
and fall off the desk,
hit the floor and break.
That's happened twice.
Fred prefers a wife, one
he’s had for 30 years.
Walt prefers a fiancé,
a new one every year.
