Matt and Dot Missed the Mark

Matt is a freakishly neat male His kitchen is spotlessly clean Almost made his date Dot want to bail Clutter free to her is utterly obscene. To live here would feel like jail. Matt felt it was amazingly keen. His minimalism felt rather stale. Dot simply despised Matt’s neat-nick scene. Her home is loaded with piles of junk mail, She is a hoarder from way back, a keep-everything-queen. Dot drags anything home she finds loose or on sale. Figures her life is not what Matt would glean. She thinks it is best probably to bail. If he saw her home, he might be mean. Various piles of debris, hearty and hale. She keeps to herself, to most unseen. Matt keeps his austere life without fail. Dot continues to live like a wild free teen. Neither realizing their union would have been hearty and hale Both living alone the rest of their life, their lives both green.
