Hard and Soft

I like a pillow that is soft, A mattress that is hard, For people have their preferences In soft and hard regard. I much prefer a crusty roll To one that’s like a puff And vegetables, when cooked, to me Are never hard enough. In jewelry and music, What I favor’s big and bold. The delicate and silky, Though quite lovely, leave me cold. When contemplating hard and soft There is so much to find But I will leave the obvious To picture in your mind.

Missing a word between "I" and "Jewellery"? I am with you on the delicate and silky; it just gets in the way! Aloha! Rico

i too prefer a soft pillow to one hard and that goes for a mattress. It's mushy overcooked vegetables I hate. I like a genteel crunch with asparagus and broccoli, cabbage and other cruciferous fare. But potatoes must be cooked through. Enjoyed. / M
