Oddly Made In Heaven

He was most handsome, blond?
and glamorous,?
everyone said so.?
?
While in repose?
her face was dull and unremarkable,?
yet when her features were animated?
they shone transcendent,?
the light of her?
made all drift to her aura.?
?
When he with his film-star looks?
did grin or simper,?
perceptive folks saw only?
the rainbow colors of a baboons backside.
?
Oddly enough they wed each other?
only to produce offspring,?
having neither light, nor presence.?
?
When those progeny, full grown,?
did turn away from any tête-à-tête,?
they left no colorful residue?
at all.
