He and she
received a shiny black coffee maker
as a formal wedding gift
so…
she, for he,
brewed a steamy pot every morning
as a dutiful wife
and…
he, for she,
drank his morning cuppa joe
as a faithful husband
until…
she, then he,
admitted (after the first anniversary)
that neither really cared for black coffee
hence…
he and she
hid the coffee maker in a back cupboard
and poured orange juice for breakfast.
