"I say potato, you say potahto"
in the little house on the corner.
It's two different mindsets,
attempting cohabitation,
but butting heads daily.
One sees work to be started,
the other sees work to be postponed.
One sees the finished product,
the other sees something to be endured.

Nevertheless,
opposites attract.
When one is away,
the other is lonely.
Just as with cats:
butting the other with one's head
means "I love you."

Ah, so sweet. I love the comparison to cats butting heads!
So well put.
I just came through your neck of the woods but no time to stop much along the way. I hope you have a wonderful long weekend. I will be chillaxin and finishing up with my container gardening.
Kay, I love this poem. I absolutely GET it. I think this poem is my favorite of those of yours I have read!
I love the comparison to the cats butting heads. I always think if I were married to someone too much like me, we might get bored!
Hmm...this is super familiar!! Ha! Well done and very right on. I wonder if it'd be that way no matter what man it was. Men and women are so very opposite I think. Cool fact on the cat head bumping...I didn't know that, my kitty does that to me now I feel super special! I thought it was sweet any way but now I KNOW it really is!! Thank you for this!
Awww this is lovely. Yes, opposites attract and as long as they meet somewhere in the middle and compromise it works.
Loved the pic too :)
I thought it was "la la means I love you"? No? I love this, Kay. We are not so far from cats ourselves, are we? ;-)
oh that's lovely
and sweet
and real
and the photo is priceless
I could have sworn I commented here this morning. Am I totally losing it?
I love this one, and especially love the cat head-butting analogy.
This is adorable and oh so true!
Precious picture! You're spot on, too.
I love the ending. This is just sweet!
I love this one! We had a similar mind set! The photo says it all...
Yours really packs a punch!
Well Done :D
Butting heads means I love you - that's grand!
That last line says it all ~
Picture is perfect too ~
Have a great weekend ~
Great closing lines, love the photo...and I will tell my DH next time we butt heads it means, "I love you!" cause Kay wrote it so.
