bear of a mood

I was in a bear of a mood
You need to hibernate my husband said
I thought he needed some refrigeration
Pictured him hanging in a meat cooler

He thought it was me
I knew it was him
We have a saying “when the horse is dead dismount”
This worked for us for a number of years

We are older now
Maybe senile, forgetful
Neither of us would let the issue go
Stirring the other one up like we did when we were young

Maybe we just wanted to feel our juices again
