She and He

She dreams of mansions; apartments he rents. She’d love a Corvette; he drives a Chevette. She stays in hotels while he sleeps in tents. She’s been to Europe; he’s never gone yet. He works as butcher; she faints seeing blood. He goes for beer, while she adores champagne. He’s earth; she’s water. You’d think they’d make mud. But they make passion again and again! June 20, 2021 for Jack Webster's 'Workshop: Adjectives Deleted' Contest

don't think this contest is judged yet, Bryan. Sure would love it to be a winner though

Great job on this. It seems like it would be difficult to ommit adjectives. Seems opposites make great matches and balance each other out in the end.

WoW! Andrea, This is a good entry for the contest. I liked everything about this piece; your final line was the icing on the cake. If one can have passion in a relationship, what's better than that? It looks like a winner to me. Have a great day:-) Alexis

A very likeable poem Andrea, found myself in there too, I worked as an abattoir butcher in my first job, my wife doesn’t even like handling fresh meat, because of the blood, so like your other viewers comments opposites can certainly attract, a great witty write, cheers David

This partially answers the question "I wonder what he/she saw in her/him"

Opposites attract. I fact if your life partner is same like you, it becomes boring. Wonderfully penned. All the best for contest.

I have this kind of marriage and it's very difficult when there is hardly anything in common. but it's do-able.
