“TO EACH THEIR OWN”—WITHIN REASON!!!!
STAR POWER
His wife has her favorite actors,
While actresses are his thing…
Sometimes they agree on who is key
While other times arguments ring.
–
When seeing older programs
His heart may flutter until…
He realizes those ladies,
Are older than him, still!
–
She seems to have a handle
On which actors she was sweet on…
But she realizes the difference,
Of memories of which she is fond.
–
He’s reticent in listing
All of the girls he found nice…
He got so many refusals,
That he almost never asked twice.
–
Certain memories kept to himself
He may never share…
Those are the most embarrassing,
That won’t be openly aired.
–
They sit and watch old movies
And TV shows for hours…
They each have their favorite persons,
Now wilted and gone like flowers.
