What freaking idiot said,
"Opposites Attract"

One gives

One takes

Fat loves thin?

Pretty v. ugly?

Short to tall

Big loves small

Hot and prig

Swan has pig

I don’t think so.

 

Put a marble and a tennis ball

in a big glass jar and shake it.

Shake it in good times

and shake it in bad

shake it when your happy

shake it when your sad

shake it at he wants

shake it at she needs

shake that damned jar

every damned day of your life.

Set it down and see,

 

The marble is still bright,

glassy, shiny hard

and in that eye’s reflection

you see the tennis ball.

Worn smooth, the bounce gone.

Frayed, deflated, tired and worn

And yea, Sad

And the mable?

Doesn’t care
