Opposites
Opposites attract I've heard it said
A saying from way back yonder
What draws us together no one knows
It sure makes all of us ponder
Sweeter than chocolate candy you are
I'm a mean and cranky old codger
We even cheer for two different teams
The Yankees and the LA Dodgers
Don't know how we ever hooked up
Compatibility is not our thing
Somehow when all the chips are down
Our two hearts in unison sing
Our musical tastes are sure not the same
Mine's more cultured by choice
I listen to Bach and Ludwig Beethoven
You listen to Vanilla Ice
But through it all, the pros and cons
We've kept our flame aglow
Way down deep under the surface
Seeds of our true love still grow
