Take This, Spenser

My husband's like to water, I to oil. We're masters of the knock-down, drag-out brawl. We just don't mix. I cause his blood to boil and he enrages me. The dude has gall! From "Water and Oil," a parody of Edmund Spenser's Sonnet 30 "My Love Is Like to Ice and I to Fire" from Amoretti Date: January 16, 2020 Contest Title: Arbitrium Divisa 6 Sponsor: Gregory Barden
