They were Fire and Ice–
no joke.  You'd wonder
why they didn't drive
each other crazy.  Friends
wondered how this could fly
in the face of everyday life.
He was a loner, stoner, stay–
at-homer.  She had a quick
wit, laughed easily, and joined 
a myriad of clubs.  Her merry 
demeanor endeared her to all she
met.  At home, the couple were
in step with each other. She
would rest her head on his
soft, plaid shirt.  He would
screw up his face, trying to
reach an itch.  That was her
signal to use her long nails
for his pleasure.  Really, 
it was all about individual
freedom, and trust.  Neither
Fire nor Ice felt threatened.
