He couldn't handle scotch - she hated rum,

so both of them would order German beer;

she loathed his Dad, he couldn't stand her Mum,

so in-laws were forbidden to come near.

He loved the Beatles, she dug ELO,

so Credence were the only tapes they bought,

the beach his bag, but she loved ice and snow,

they honeymooned at Disneyworld resort.

He liked the train, but she preferred to fly,

they drove across the country to the sea;

she won at chess - he loved to win I-Spy,

so every night they played Monopoly.

They compromised, and lived a blissful life,

The Sprats - indeed, the perfect man and wife!
