Creative Compromises


She said she hated the water, the thought of a fish 
Or something 
Brushing against her 
Made her skin crawl just thinking about it
And she was certain she would be carried out to sea
Not to mention the sharks and moray eels
Other ever-present dangers

He said he hated the mountains, the thought of a bear
Or something
Chasing after him
Made his mind reel just thinking about it
And he was certain he would be buried in an avalanche
Not to mention the wolves and mountain lions
Other ever-present dangers

It took awhile
Eventually though, they lived happily ever after
In a barren desert far from any ocean or mountains
