A Perfect Mismatch

He couldn't stand her temper tirades
   She ranted and raved about bills left unpaid

A tragic couple they were, a perfect mismatch ~
   Their marriage contract containing no escape hatch

"a perfect mismatch" - weirdly enough, these usually make the best marriages.

You're right, I think: No Expectations -- What you see and smell is what you're stuck with. lol

Looks like he brought out the worst in her by his own mishandling of the situation. Instead of temper tirades she ought to calmly plan her next move. ~ Regards // paul

That's a sad situation, gw. I'm thinking one or the other should go find a divorce lawyer. They know all of the escape hatches!
