Love and Hate

LOVE and HATE it can often be said
in relationships, share the same bed
if you're really quite shrewd
you can work out her mood-
either lipstick or bruise on my head!

Been missing your wit Viv. Thought I'd visit an earlier one. I'm not so shrewd I'm sorry to say. Hope things are well with you.

Thanks, SKAT. I must point out that my good lady never aims for my head with a slap. It's normally the groin :) . Viv x
