Hello there, you gorgeous people of the realm outside of my house!
For today’s bit of fun, I’d like to present another poetic duet with the talented, versatile and prolific Hastywords.
http://hastywords.wordpress.com/
For the record, this is our fourth duet together and if anything, the process simply keeps on getting more entertaining.
We used a Daily Prompt from Michelle W. a while back about imperfections, which you can find here:-
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/daily-prompt-imperfection/
You may ask if I have any imperfections, amusing little idiosyncrasies or peculiar peccadilloes?
[Idiosyncrasies (Good Will Hunting)]
To which I will answer you. Yes. Yes I do.
My one and only imperfection is that perhaps I care just a little too much.
What do you mean you’re going to be sick?
Barf bags can be found behind your seat. That’s how much I love you – I snuck into your house in the middle of the night and put them there.
Please leave cookies next time. And a glass of milk, if it’s not too much trouble.
Now, let’s get cracking with this here conflaberation!
Perfect Imperfections (by TooFullToWrite & Hastywords)
You snore too loud in bed
A chainsaw to wake up the dead
I’ve heard bulldozers more melodious
But I still love you all the same
The way you chew your food
Seriously gets on my nerves
A cow chomps more gracefully
But I still love you all the same
Do you really have to slam that door
Hard enough to put my teeth on edge
I think that time, it came off the hinges
But I still love you all the same
OMG turn the volume down
The neighbors can hear you sing
I know the shower has cool echoes
But, sheesh I still love you all the same
You’re always a couple minutes late
Unless there’s some food on the table
You bolt to it faster than the Grand National
But I still love you all the same
Pacing, pacing, pacing back and forth
Back and forth, up and down, fidgety
Calm down, relax, you are driving me crazy
But I still love you all the same
Your perfect imperfections
Seem to be never ending
But as long as our love endures
I won’t be doing any jail time
Not over your scattered toenail clippings
But still…….grrrrrrrrrrr!

A very good poem. After a time. We get use to bad habits.
Thank you John. I really liked the idea of habits that were annoying but still not quite enough to go on a killing spree over! Glad you enjoyed it.
awesome.
Loved the poem, and this one – I can’t tell who wrote what? Interesting. Now, a question…. what exactly WOULD prompt a killing spree?
Well there you go, I certainly am blending in well on these projects! As for what would prompt a killing spree, I have often wondered that. I used to think it would be if I didn’t get a Krispy Kreme donut every so often but I’ve mellowed in my years and now won’t even begin to consider losing my rag, unless for example I’m trying to fix my Mother’s laptop computer, then all bets are off!
I love this poem. You just described a portion of my ideal relationship. *sigh* to find someone to love and who loves me “all the same”. Beautiful.
Hi there Currie, glad you enjoyed it. I’m always ecstatic when poems that I write (especially collaborative ones) connect with people and they can appreciate the similarities in their own lives. I’ve read your blog and you are a very decent person. With love, there is always hope, if you don’t find the right one to begin with, I believe that if you are full of love and give affection unconditionally to others then you will find the love you truly deserve. Thank you for reading and being part of my blogging community.
