Bill and Hilary -- a poem
Bill and Hilary
Bill: I love you dear for loving me, which made me look after my diet, which made me healthier, which made me happier, which made me love you more, dear!
Hilary: Yes, you are healthier and you do love me better!
Bill: It was all your doing dear to choose to team up with me and now we love each other so much. It will continue to spiral...
Hilary: Yes, of course, Bill, we will soon be a tornado together....
