Male Man of Mine

My moody quiet, withdrawn man,
So few words given to your family.
Does not see the soil around the toilet
But can pick out a gunstock nick at two
hundred yards away.
Cares not for life beyond a gun's eye view.
Yet we compliment each other
You are the peanut to my butter,
Peach in my cream,
Love

Sound as tho your male man is your cup of tea, Doris. Good to hear in this day and time so many divorces taking place. Congratulations and God's love to you both. Sincerely,Love, Moses

Interesting point of view. Aren't all men like this ? Keep writing. Mom

They say opposites attract, Doris. And while this hasn't worked for me, I'm glad you "the peanut to (your) butter!" Love, Carolyn
