Nothing In Common

She votes Democrat; he is a die-hard Republican.
She goes to church; he is allergic to it.
She reads fiction; he reads comic books.
She watches documentaries; he watches the fights.
They are together for sixty-four years before he passes.
Now she watches the fights and cartoons, missing him greatly.
