Gross Yield
Hardly a paradisiac setting, he met her at the dumpster.
She was a free spirit and, alas, he was a Trumpster.
He thought that she looked nifty in spite of her dreadlocks.
She thought he was her nemesis. Just look! Argyle socks!!!!
He lifted up the lid so she could throw in all her junk.
She didn’t pay attention. She liked her lovers punk.
But he wooed her every garbage day. A regular Lochinvar,
he insisted she not lift the bags, declaring it too far
from her doorway to the dumpster and offered his assist.
In the end, she always let him, though she did try to resist!
I could draw out this long story. There were dates, flowers and candy.
They wed, and though he bored her, his gross income came in handy!

Ina cafe. We used to go there to celebrate each anniversary for a couple of years until it was sold and the supermarket next door expanded. I was thinking of taking some chairs and a bottle and still celebrate by the frozen food fridges where the table and chairs we met used to be 😀

Probably not terribly surprising considering I’m a grumpy misanthrope, but I saw a much more cyncial side to this. He bored her silly but his gross income came in handy… Hardly a romance.
