A poem written when I was single. Now I’m happily married, to Kate.
Paired up in Twos
Like they are in the zoos
Is that the ideal, or nearly?
Are you in a two?
How is it for you?
Are you happy?
Well no, not really
The rows and the fights
The conjugal rights
[Your love-life by now pretty boring]
Alone in your bed with some chocolate instead
Would be really fantastic –
No snoring
It feels good to be two
There’s nothing more true
For a hug, or a cuddle or more
But I look at the twos around me, and I say to myself
Not sure!
