Steve & Mary

A lady likes to tell her woes
To say just how she's feeling
Be nurtured and be listened to
To help her with the healing

A gentleman will walk away
When he is full of worry
Distract himself with something else
To cover up the flurry

To brush up on the other half
Takes time and lots of learning
For each of them are quite complex
Involving lots of yearning

Both would like to be worked out
In part without a mention
A way to solve their differences
To ease away the tension

If each could understand themselves
To recognise they vary
Then all would make a lot of sense
And Steve could live with Mary
