FEBRUARY 2022 --My Love's a Radial Tire

 

1

My love’s a radial tire . . .

Except there’s signs of wearing

Showing on his rims.

  2

My love’s a questing rowboat . . .

Except his guiding compass

Always finds true north.

    3

My love’s a handy dollar . . .

Except he’d say inflation

Has increased his worth.

     4

My love’s a busy oyster . . .

Except aggravating him

Doesn’t produce pearls.

       5

My love’s a constant oak tree . . .

Except his stalwart branches

Will find ways to bend.

       6

My love’s a tarnished mirror . . .

Except you’ll find he’s much more

Than an image shows.

    7

My love’s a scruffy old boot . . .

Except there’s no desire to

Kick off and replace.

      8

My love’s a noisy blender . . .

Except mixing two to one

Makes our love so blessed.
