Ms Todd & Mr. Tort

She's rather tall but her temper is short
He's sort of small with a jolly port
Together they are odd but an agreeing sort
She's Ms. Todd and he's Mister Tort

She walks in stride while he tags along
She's clear of mind while he's lost in song
She has an air of pride while he tries to belong
She's never kind while he's rather fond

He likes to please while she demands
He's at ease while she likes to command
He's with the flow while she has a plan
He rather sit while she takes a stand

When they are married it is plain to see
Who amongst them the boss will be
Tradition be dang for peace we need
Mrs and Mr. Todd, how odd, they will be

Great rhyming. Opposites do attract. Very funny. Best wishes, Robin
