I am always early
While my wife is always late.
This way we’re always just in time
And never have to wait.
I wake early, she wakes late
So the days are not too long.
I stay awake, she goes to sleep,
She’s right, I’m always wrong.
We sleep as one in separate beds
And never seem to fight.
She talks a lot, I hold my tongue,
She spends a lot, I’m tight.
So all in all we’re quite content,
Well balanced in our ways.
We’re very, very happy,
But it’s just on different days.
