MEANT FOR EACH OTHER

'Sweetheart! Darling! Please be mine!

Let our necklaces entwine!

Though I may look quite informal,

I am absolutely normal.

I've got egg around my lips

And you have got those metal hips!

Let there be no ifs or buts.

We are just a couple of nuts.'

But he finds her ardour wilts;

She much prefers her men on stilts.

CONTRAST

One tends to forget there are layers.

We just look at a 'canvas' sky;

Flat paint on that endless blue

As clouds go drifting by.

But put yourself in a cloud's place!

The streak is above the puff!

In the ether streams of peacefulness;

Underneath a puff of fluff!

And the clouds are endlessly passing

As they roll upon their way.

Not 'ships that pass in the night', maybe;

Just 'clouds that pass in the day.'
